Looks to be a Model T sedan in front of it and an early 1920s Packard Twin Six behind.  The car looks to be quite light and date from around 1920. Note no front brakes and short wheelbase

How about an Overland 4 ?

Wonder if it might be a Model T with an aftermarket body, sure looks odd. Bob

I see regular springs on the rear and not transverse like a Model T.

[Larry Schramm]

Is it possibly European?

[Dwight Romberger]

Interesting that it has no hood louvers. I wonder if that is why the hood is unlactched?

[Layden B]

5 piece hood with angular radiator shell to match, door hinges all at rear, possibly a strip down the center of the radiator all make me suspect an aftermarket body. Maybe Overland chassis.

You don't see very many makes with such crisp corners on the body parts. Very much like an Essex, but I don't think it is one.

_{The double front-opening doors makes it really confusing, as that is a very unusual feature on such a car.  I'm thinking European too, it just doesn't have the feel of an American car.....}

I do not know how to zoom in on pictures . But there is a sign in the window over the back seat . Can anyone read it ? It might be a foreign language to place the car .

That is why I mentioned Essex. Hudson and Essex both had doors like those.

There looks to be anything in front of the radiator too?

There looks to be a center bar on the radiator.

1921 Dixie Flyer. Here's an ad from 1920:

At least not 1922 as the car in AACA's museum with its portholes in the hood sides. Newer than the 1919 Icelandic example, no center bar there and wooden spokes. 

BTW Leif, there were seven Dixie Flyers registered in the province of Halland only in late 1924. Quite a lot according to me.

That was a tough one, good job with the identification!

 

My reply window seems to have a mind of its own, sometimes changing font, sometimes underlining....and I try to change it and it won't!

I have the same problems at times , no rhyme or reason , or fix.

Simple fix.  If you notice you probably move the cursor down across the "Reply to this topic" and across the toolbar that bolds underlines etc. This will cause your message to use whatever you have high lighted.  I find that sometimes just the weight of my finger on the mouse will high light something on the tool bar.  I find that if I highlight my message I can go up and unclick the underline or highlight or whatever.

[roysboystoys]

can't seem to duplicate it , but I'm sure you are right.

I'll be more careful

And you can change colors and size if you are clever.
