Wow, I totally forgot this one!
This should be a Duesenberg Model A Coupe 4-passenger by Millspaugh & Irish from 1923

It is a Duesenberg, built before there was a "Duesenberg".

This configuration has been (wrongly, I believe) attributed to Millspaugh and Irish.

According to a member at the ACD club, this is a Duesenberg Model A prototype built before the company was officially launched; the chassis was bodied by a new coachbuilder, Bender, Robinson & Co of New York, who fitted it with the stately "Opera Coupe" body.

For one point: What is this car?

Only a correct, complete and specific answer will earn a point; tag-on's to other guesses will not. So, be specific and complete!
