OK, time to give some clues in a couple of my older puzzles. This car is from a country not normally associated with building cars, although these days there is an assembly plant there.

Not Romanian, and not Norwegian (to my knowledge, there is no real assembly plant in Norway?) - though geographically, SeaLion isn't too far off.

A White-based Finlandia, perhaps?

Back to the puzzle, is it perhaps from Finland?

It is...it's a Finlandia Touring Model!

First, to SeaLion - with assembly plant I mean a plant where cars are assembled, not produced, this is of course very common in developing countries. In comparison, Th!nk Nordic is a manufacturing plant. But whatever! Paul Jaray got this one right as well - it is a 1923 Finlandia Tourer!

So, what do you say? Who should get the point - Paul Jaray for finding the right car, or KarnUtz for guessing the right manufacturer? Or maybe both? Your call!

As I was merely guessing, and since Paul supplied the requested make and model designation, the point is his.

I usually won't take credit for what others have done, in this case I must admit that I just search cars-makers from Finland following SeaLion intuition, and I found it without reading Karns post, but now, I think the point is his, also because there is no model designation even in my reply...

Then what do you call this, when the model designation is Tourer? I say the point is yours, then. Congratulations... :)
