For one point, please identify this car, the coachbuilder and the year.

I think Saoutchik used these type of doors?

Found it, it's a Graham Convertible Model # 97 custom by Saoutchik. Currently for sale.

I was going to give up on this, as I was looking for something like a Delage or Hispano Suiza. But, I think you can see a part of the side valve flat head engine, which would point to a US made car.

Wow, that is really sad.  Hopefully we get to see it restored in the near future.

Joćo, thank you for the point. Do you know in which country the bottom photo was taken?

You're welcome.

Possibly Algeria or Morocco.

Hemmings has a good article on this car.  It served as a staff car for a general in Algeria, and won the Pebble Beach Concours in 2015.
