A Podeus tourer manufactured by the Automobilfabrik Paul Heinrich Podeus of Wismar, Germany from 1910 (1911?) to 1914.  I'm not sure of the year, but, given the more modern look of the lighting, I suspect that it is one of the later years, either 1913 or 1914.  I believe there were three models, 9/24 PS (1911), 10/30 PS (1912) & 7/20 PS (1913), so based on the above time reasoning, this is probably a 7/20 PS.

Yes, it is a Podeus, although not the 7/20 PS.
Locked for you to name the right model.

As I said previously, my reference says that there were three models.  The car in the photograph doesn't look extremely large, so I'll go with the next larger model.  Even though it was the oldest design, it had a more modern monoblock engine (the other two models had cylinders cast in pairs), so perhaps it also had modern lighting.  Is this the: 2.3 liter four-cylinder Podeus 9/24 PS?

Thanks Gerd.  The car must be bigger than it appears in order to accept a 2.6 liter pair cast engine.  It is a good thing that Podeus didn't make more models or I could have been at this all night (It's already almost 4 am).  ;D
