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.

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?

I'm guessing someone bought the kit from Sears or Western Auto,that would be the big custom job in those days.
As the Speedster was used in Sweden I think it's hardly was ordered from an American mail order catalogue. Some of the Swedish coachbuilders made bodies for the Model T, also the Mercury Speedster body seems to have been relativelly more popular over there than in America.
I was brought up with Swedish hot rod/classic car Magazines, and asumed therefore that the Mercury Speedster body was Number One Choice also in the US. But then came the Internet and I found MTFCA, there were other aftermarket bodies.

Father Jules Gavois has his 1891 Panhard-Levassor refueled. I hope someone can date the photo from the gas pump. I don't think it is early as 1921 when the story in this link occurred.
Another photo from the 14th of June event 1921 from Austrian Allgemeine-Automobile Zeitung; a brand new Panhard-Levassor to the left and to the right an early Bugatti!

I’m going to guess German.
In my opinion it's French, the placement of the licence plate. Not Citroën and definately not Peugeot as a chromed headlight is clearly visible. Perhaps a Renault or some of the smaller marques Still active in the late 30s?
