For one point, tell us the body style of this old car, and the name of the happy man in front of it

I have it as a Twin Six, and the body style isn't called "Sport Touring" or "Touring".

Sorry Ray, I didn't see your response until today.

Not "All-Weather Phaeton".  Not Alvan Macauley

Hm, a long body, two rows of seats, but only two doors.
I have a photo of a kind of predecessor, but no name of the bodystyle, unfortunately.

The man is not a sports star.  We might solve the puzzle by figuring him out.

I hadn't noticed the lack of doors before.  I just looked, it is common for this body style to have two rows of seats and only 2 doors.  But I have seen them with four small doors as well.

The man is Zez Confrey (1895 – 1971), an American composer. The car is a Packard Twin Six, 3rd series, model 3-25 (built Aug. 1917 - Aug. 1919); coachbuilt body in the Cloverleaf style. Custom wheels.

A model 3-25 would make it a 1918 or 1919.  The Twin-Six was the only motor offered between 1916 and 1920.
