Oh! Some progress then.
It doesn't look like the thing one would offer for everyday use, even in those times, so if it is not a record runner then maybe it's a racing car built primarily for oval tracks?

Maybe the car is often published on the web because of its owner (who might be the man standing next to it) ?

The car was invented by that man, and despite the appareance, is quite unusual, for the 20s.
