Which part of the puzzle are you asking about?
Car?
Driver?
Location?
Driver and location. So could guess what car could get that far
OK - rule of thumb here is 'one guess at a time'.
In any case, the car and the driver are not from any of the locations guessed so far.
the driver: from a Pacific Island?
Is the driver from Fiji?
Is this a Winton automobile?
Car was made in USA?
A well-known brand?
Long gone, but not completely unknown.
Rambler? I mean the car, is that a rambler?
Not a Rambler

Cook Islands?
I would consider those South Pacific islands, so, no.
Hawaii?
Guam?
The photo was not taken anywhere in the Pacific.
Was the photo taken in Africa?
Is this a staged photo or are these people native in the location?

These people are natives of a place far from where the picture was taken.

A world exhibition?
1904 St Louis World's Fair?

1904 St Louis World's Fair?
Yes!
I suspect the car will now be easy to identify. The driver, perhaps not.
Picture made in the Igorot village?
Yes!
Was the driver Antonio, the Igorot chief? BTW Igorot means Philippines

That's him!
And, I never said the driver wasn't from a Pacific island (the Philippines, for instance ;) ). I said the picture was not taken on a Pacific Island
I think the car was called Pathfinder, but I have yet to find the brand
"Under the triangular bamboo frame from which hung three buffalo skulls, Antonio, chief of the Bontoc Igorito sat at the wheel of the Pathfinder, to have his "picture took".
It is an Elmore Pathfinder.

Correct!
Philippine Igorot chief Antonio, headhunter by profession, dog eater by choice, in an Elmore Pathfinder, at the 1904 St Louis World's Fair Philippines Exhibit. Elmore Manufacturing Company, Clyde, Ohio.
The Elmore Pathfinder, which was produced in the spring of 1904, participated in the American Automobile Association sponsored race from New York to the St. Louis World's Fair in July, surprisingly winning the event.
