Unknown Early Pre-war Car

[TerryB]

Friend is wondering what make and year this car might be. Might be foreign as it’s his family members came to the US from France. The round grill look familiar but I’m not good at guessing early cars.  Thanks!

Body work almost looks English, but could just as easily be French or even Belgian or Dutch. I don't recognise the radiator shell. Wheels are most likely Rudge Whitworth. But lots of both English and European{ and even a few U.S. } cars used them. I don't think it is a U.S. make. About 1916 - 1924.

Thank you!  Sure looks like it. I NEVER would have been able to come up with that!

I actually tried to purchase a CW a few years back. Small but interesting cars............

Looks to be a similar model that achieved first, second and seventh in the first 24-hour race at Le Mans in 1923.
