It could well be, that the high-wheeler is a Kearns surrey from roughly between 1911 and 1913. Many details fit, like the rounded hood (not a dummy: it covered a 3 cyl. 2 cycle engine) and the 16 spoke wheels. The angle of the steering column seems flatter than on the images I could find, but I do no have the impression that all images in their adverts were up-to-date. Kearns also had a 'convential' car line, in which the steering column had a similar flat angle, while the outline for the chassis was virtually identical to the high-wheeler, and even the wheels, though with pneumatics, had 16 spokes.

I have a photo of this car, stating that it is a model A Ford. Apart from the front the models A and C are very similar. However I've never seen a running board on a model A, but some model C's have one.

The front may look larger by the angle of the photo, but it is without doubt a model C Ford. In the catalogues this is the standard (rear entrance) tonneau shown (in fact similar to the model A), but indeed also cars with a kind of side-entrance tonneau can be found, with very small side doors.
-
The highwheeler with its seemingly round front is still a mystery to me, but the car behind is probably an early De Dion-Bouton.
-
This car is a ca 1900 Delin (from Belgium), which still survives today.

Interesting find, I never have spotted a Sizaire & Naudin across the ocean. In Europe they were popular sporty little cars, especially around 1910. This particular model indeed had a 1 cylinder engine, bore x stroke 120x140mm. I don't know about the types, but this was a 'voiture type course'. So a little racer, although the real Sizaire & Naudin racers of this period were quite different in appearance.

This would be double work. Look further down at this header by PFindlay: ID ~1908 Runabout? (posted Tuesday 5.43 pm)

My idea is a 1907 model H runabout, which fits with the hooded dash.

Sunbeam?
The site Gallica-Bnf, from which this photo was taken, mentions June 25, 1913 as the date of this photo. Coatalen was present there for the training practice for the Grand Prix held in Amiens a few weeks later.

Yes, clearly Sunbeam indeed, although the mudguard (fender) style is not the usual one for Sunbeam. The coupé body is unusual and was shown at the Manchester Show earlier in 1913. Uploaded a poor quality image of that car, being a 30 hp 6 cylinder model. The text below the image refers to the performance of the Sunbeam team at the 1912 Grand Prix de l'ACF, where they finished in 3rd, 4th and 5th place.

I've seen one of these before, and I'm sure it was something British? There was an article in The Automobile magazine once about them, and there were the remains of one found in the UK (with the engine). What indication is there that it's French? It looks like it has an AA badge on the handlebars, so the vehicle was possibly in the UK. I can't remember what it was, but it'll come to me. Made in one of the big car making towns like Coventry or Birmingham.
Hi Craig, Uploaded the article, however I seem to have forgotten to write the date of the issue in the caption. Ariejan

That is a ca 1913 Wall tricar. Still with tiller steering. Later also with steering wheel.

That NY taxi is an Alco taxi, which apparently kept its 1908 appearance till at least 1913, probably even longer. All features I mentioned above are different, including the fenders (which are still wing shaped here).
-
The only car I could find that fits the shape of radiator, front axle, spring horns and wheel hubs was the 1910-1912 Velie. Uploaded a surviving 1912 roadster for comparison. After 1912 the front axle shape was different. The body of the limousine may have been a later modification.

This a Mercedes indeed, from circa 1910. The badge is from the 'Kaiserlicher Automobil-Club", the K.A.C. The event is still a mystery for me. I first thought the Prince Henry tour of one the years around 1910 (it was run during the years 1907 to 1911), but the number 67 does not fit in any of these. So which event exactly I will have to check, but maybe somebody else comes up with an idea.

It's a 1908 Franklin Brougham

As the photo seems to have a relation with Riker and the movie car clearly has a resemblance to the Locomobile racers, it could be a 'light', chainless version of this car, possibly specially made for this movie. This is only a suggestion of course.
-
Clearly not a 1925 Buick, but a 1923 model would fit better with the roundness of the hood. What still worries me is the absence of the small sidelights. Also the protection plates on the chassis cover are larger than they should be.
-
Not really my area of interest, but some searching ends up with a ca 1925 Buick.
-
More likely 1914.

Could someone help to identify this car
in What is it?

That car is a 1907 Itala, and judging by the length of the hood, the 6 cylinder 75hp model. In 1907 Itala had just earned eternal fame by winning the Peking (now Beijing) to Paris race, making the brand popular in many European countries like France, England and also Germany indeed.
