Charles in Shanghai

Most interesting, thank you very much!

Many thanks studeq.

Thank you for this information.

Dear reader, This is thought to be a 1923 Studebaker Roadster. Reactions are welcome.\ Regards,

Dear reader, In the "What is it?" forum, I was suggested to re-post this photo. Can you please comment?
