Interesting mystery roadster.

That radiator and hood look very Rolls-Royce-like, but the hubs say the car is something more mundane - and note it has no front brakes.

 

The roadster body with its multiple glass panes looks British.

 

The young man looks German or Dutch - maybe.

 

Note the 'construction' mounted between the head lamps. Those lamps with that extra piece at the top look like what some upper price US makes used later in the 1920s.

 

Maybe someone recognises the make of the tyres.

One make not mentioned in the facebook comments yet is Sizaire-Berwick

Moon were taken to court for using a RR type radiator. So possibly Moon?

Are we sure it's a roadster and not a sport coupe? That whole split windshield assembly just doesn't look "open car" to me.

The radiator looks like Roamer, "the poor man's Rolls" but I'm not finding the body. 

Notice the unusual treatment or design at the top of the LH door. Custom body maybe?

Rolls-Royce had a flat spot on the top of the radiator, Moon was a peak

 

My guess is 1919, hard to find a Rolls with wood wheels, not many with hood vents...

Maybe an Elcar?
