Photo taken 1.1.1929 or later, when the cinema theatre Regina was opened in Helsinki. It changed name in February 1933 to Unika.
The place today:https://www.google.com/maps/@60.1758634,24.9510197,3a,75y,114.59h,85.11t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1suMJcjSVLyOLRRJMzTGI2_A!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu
In fact there is a small movie theatre even today in the building, last year I saw a small independent film there.
The house was the largest apartment buildning in the Finish capital when it was ready in the 1920s, it inhabitated more people than some older small towns like Naantali or Uusikaarlepyy.

You sent me down the rabbit hole of Google, but I'm happy to report that I learned something factual - Ian Fleming of James Bond fame was the author of the book! So a series of 3 cars led to a book that led to a movie.
In fact Ian Fleming was racing driver Donald Healey's co-pilot on the 1932 Alpine Trial

Model T Tudor and Fordor in front of a fresh apartment block in Kallio, then 1927 the working class district in Helsinki. The Tudor seems a bit newer, equipped with bumbers. Is there a Roman number II on it's door, indicating it was a Taxi-cab? Ford Model T would have more likely belonged to the cheaper class III. Maybe the older Fordor at least was owned by the building contractor. Practical with a closed car for visiting building sites even in the winter as in the photo.

I was just reading about McFarlan a day or two ago. They had specs and price similar to the Locomobiles of that era. I wonder if there’s enough interest for you or someone else to start a McFarlan thread similar to some of the other low production makes that have a thread on this site?
big impressive cars.
My late uncle was quite a huge boxing fan, at least in his youth. I knew that Jack Dempsey had a McFarlan. My uncle thougt that Muhammed Ali was greater than Dempsey. McFarlan vs. Claymobile in my opinion...

The four-door Buick in photos nr 2 and 3 has a Danish coachwork commissioned by General Motors in Scandinavia. It was called "the silver fish" due to its paint. Remember reading about it in the Swedish Wheels Magazine in 1982 at a tender age.

A bit fuzzy but not too bad, wonder if this was an exported 1929 Essex phaeton as the popularity of open phaetons was dwindling fast in America.
Isn't that a prewar German licence plate? Prefix IA- indicates Berlin, foreign cars were popular amongst well to do people in the late 20s there.

I’m guessing it’s the Christie. If someone doesn’t answer tonight I’ll look for it tomorrow.
I am convinced that it's a Christie. Funny that I didn't never thought how it looked from the rear perspective.

Cool thing for being British.
The production version had a better looking front in my opinion. The insurance companies were against front-wheel drive when it first come out on the market, too dangerous...
There's a website dedicated to these 1925-31 models, but is it still working?

That same car was featured in Terras fönster Nr 7 1953, celebrating Royal Swedish Automobile Club's 50 years anniversary: https://www.filmarkivet.se/movies/terras-fonster-nr-7/ (8:15-, 8:36-)
