Unfortunately there were lots of obscure American automobile manufacturers in this time frame, many making similar looking machines.  This time I'll try a: landaulet by the De Luxe Motor Car Company of Detroit, Michigan, from about 1909.

Not that one; I think it's time for a clue: the name is composed by two parts.

Not Chalmers-Detroit....I'm not sure if the second name could be the name of a town, anyway not one of the most well known.

Thank you, it rules out a lot of names!
Not Allen-Kingston, Coates-Goshen, Detroit-Dearborn, Firestone-Columbus, Pope-Hartford, Pope-Toledo, Pratt-Elkhart, Stoddart-Dayton and few more, then.

Great-Smith?
