Not by them, it's not difficult at all.

It's a 1915 Oakland btw.  ;)

That's earlier than I had guessed and rules out several coachbuilders that were not yet in business in 1915.
I presume when you say that it's not difficult, you mean it's a well-known firm....
Let's try Thrupp & Maberly?

Not by Thrupp & Maberly. The same coachbuilder bodied a Hispano-Suiza.

I've narrowed the possibilities down to half-a-dozen now......
How about Arnold of Manchester?
