Is it french?

[Otto Puzzell]

Not French

[Otto Puzzell]

This car is not from Europe.

If this is a pre-1905 car it´s got a very "modern" technical layout.
Front engine, maybe even more than 2 cylinders - O.K. the chassis is really oldschool...

American?

Not front engined, I'd say: more likely under-floor/seat like Cadillac/Olds/early Ford.
Seems quite small

Hi, that seems an Overland Runabout from 1903 without lamps, fenders, radiator's cover and with a steering wheel instead of a bar...

[Otto Puzzell]

Not one of those.

Hi, that is the Karns Kar single cilinder roadster from 1899 from Everett, Pennsylvania.

Now I understand why it´s a favourite of Mr. KarnUtz...
