Birmingham Four Door Sedan, Birmingham No-Axle Motor Corporation,  Jamestown, New York, USA, 1921-1922
Constructed by Cyrus E. Weaver. For the suspension he purchased the patent rights for the four-wheel independent system from the Blood Brothers. Powered by a Continental L-head six-cylinder engine. And with rack and pinion steering.
The demonstrator car of your picture has been displayed in in Washington DC. The car's coachwork was covered by Dupont's “Fabrikoid” in an alligator skin pattern and it was fitted with a removable “California Top.”
