hmm... I'm guessing European, perhaps Lancia? on second thought, the Lancia Lambda's were unibody, no separate chassis, so maybe another make. The clean body lines suggest European to me, but details of house in background might suggest something, perhaps northern country (are those "storm windows over upper windows?). Car appears to be RHD.

The body looks to be in the German style but I think the car it self is American.

 

I see what looks like an outside ;light on the house. Can anyone say whether it is distinctively American or not?

[nzcarnerd]

Second thought - I see Leif posted this - maybe the photo was taken in Europe? Sweden or ??

The body detail that suggest an English or European source is the formed door edge rib overlaps.  American bodymakers didn't typically include that detail much after the Brass Era, most before the WWI Era.

The inward slope of the upper body suggests a "skiff" body style which was primarily a French innovation.

The closet I can find are   coach built Stoewer ,it has the right number of 5 rim bolts as well as the rivets in the wheel center in front and rear.Not the right model but the only one I found.

Leif, I think you have the make, those rear fenders and the "torpedo" style touring body with folded doors suggest you are on right track. 10 spoke wheels on front, 12 on back, note OP has 12 front and rear. Guess we'll all have to research our "Stoewer" files! I found this 1924 Stoewer D10 image on internet, apparently car is all original, 1 of 50 built, and resides in Australia. This one has wires, suggesting a later model perhaps than the OP.

Could it be an Adler? Body matches pretty well. Wheel bolts not so much.

Loooks right with Adler but probebly not the same year on the cars? Thanks MassingNickel.

The Cunningham in the National Automobile Museum in Reno has a similar style body:

@Leif Holmberg Yes, maybe not the same year, or maybe just different models. The car I linked to is a 9/24 or 10/30 PS. I believe the Swedish one in your photo could be an Adler 8/20 PS. There was at least an Adler 8/20 registered in 1921 on E. Rödin in Haverövallen (very close to where the photo was taken) with reg.nr Y733.

 

@8E45E Sure, there are some similarities with the Cunningham, but I'm still putting my money on Adler. As a side note: The Cunningham in the Harrah Collection in Reno coincidentally comes from Sweden too, originally owned by Eric Rafael Rådberg.

The radiator badge certainly looks like an Adler.
