Who built this car, when and where?

I'm sure we've had that one before. Still looking for the name.

1935 Hoppe & Streur streamliner, built by Allen M.Hoppe and Allyn F. Streur of Hollywood.

Hoppe & Streur

Locked to complete the answer!

Already done

All correct!

Obviously this one was too easy in this section

However, alternative intention was to give some Sunday fun for a lucky puzzler, and you're the one! Congrats!

Thank you! It was quite a challenge to find the name, before Paul Jaray notices this puzzle.

There is a typo in the header anyway.

Ok, so either your historical caption or the Standard Catalog is wrong.

This text is on the opposite side of the original photo dated back to 1935-February-9 which makes it exactly(!) 80 years old!

A quite unreliable source of mine (a Spanish newspaper) of 1935 call them Hoppe y Streat.

That's two out of three for a "u" and two out of three for a "t". Democratically proven, Arunas is correct with Streut.

Another proof for "Streur", the Keystone caption and the tombstone of Allyn F. Streur:
