I don't know a lot about this car. It is a one-off and may well have copied details from another existing car.

Details are a bit sketchy but this is what I have found... 1915 Emden built by the Donaldson family?

Correct, and the point is yours. It was built for the Indy 500 of that year and driven by Willie Haupt.
