Fellow Autopuzzlers, for a point please tell me the marque, model and year

Don't be naughty! Stay away from Google Search by Image, kids

Looks as a MOON from USA

[el_monty]

That's because it is a Moon! Locked for you to provide the model and year

[luisps]

Difficult to define as externally Moon didn't showed clear differences. Coluld it by a Series A 6 cyinder made between 1924-28?

[el_monty]

It is indeed a 6-cylinder, but earlier than the time bracket you mention. Maybe what I should have asked is who was its first owner, which is what makes this particular unit unique. I'll give you more time to find out. There are image searches you can do with the data you already have that will yield a picture of this unit and therefore its description.

[luisps]

So maybe it's a 6-48 of 1920-22?

[el_monty]

You are so close now! The car is reportedly from 1920, however it's not a 6-48 but another model that was apparently also produced that year.

[luisps]

The car at the picture looks a top of the range so I decide guess that is the 6-68 if not I still have a lower alternative for 1920...

[el_monty]

Not a 6-68. As I said before, you don't need to guess. With the info you have there are multiple searches you can perform that will display this exact car

 6-42hp 1920

I am sorry Fëdor, your answer is correct but I had not unlocked the puzzle. While the default duration for locks is often 24 hours, they are ultimately at the discretion of the puzzler and in this case I had prolonged the lock for luisps (that's what I meant when I said "I'll give you more time to find out"). Therefore, I have to award him the point. No hard feelings, I hope.
This car was owned by the Maharajah of Udaipur, and is reportedly the only Moon in India, and one of only two or three (depending on the source) RHD units of this model. It was found in a bad state, restored and presented at the Cartier Concours in Delhi in 2015.

Thank you el monty, Just when I had found the correct answer, I saw that Fedor had already answered, I had the correct answer but with the image of another Moon with the same type of headlamps and the year  but white color is the 1920 6-42 Moon Export Touring - Haynes International Motor Museum of the attached image.
