It's a Stanley with a Dannevirke made body. I think it's from 1923 and a model 740.

Dannevirke is the city where the coachbuilder was located.

Here's the reverse of the postcard the from which I took the puzzle picture. It reads:

"This is another photo of Fornie's car taken in Dannevirke just as I was leaving for Hastings. I think this picture could be published in The "Steam Car" or "Stored Power" without casting any undesirable reflections on "The Stanley."

The rear portion of the body looks somewhat overdone in the photo, but [on?] the road the car possesses a very pleasing and dignified appeara[nce].

The photo was taken by the manag[er] of the body building dept of Neilsens [who?] was personally responsible for its original design and construction. He tells me it took a panel beater 6 weeks to beat out the steel panels for this body.

It is a very fine job and does them great credi[t]."

Forgive my ignorance but are we talking about the Dannevirke in Nebraska and not the one in New Zealand?

It's New Zealand. If you google Stanley Neilsen Dannevirke, you are led to a fine article about this car.
