For one point, provide the year, make, and model of this old touring car.

For a second point, specify the location of the puzzle picture.

Sixtee:
I have no idea about the car for the moment, but it is being used, I think, as a winch mount for some sort or ariel balloon.

Hi Bill:

Well, I am now on my third glass of wine, trying to fortify myself for Cataract Surgery tomorrow starting at 0615 in the morning.

A winch, then, of some sort, of that I am fairly certain.

I hope your eyes are doing well, Bill.

Yes, it is being used as a winch.

A point for you CG, for providing the answer to the first part of the puzzle.  The car is a 1927 Marmon E-75.

Puzzle is locked for 24 hours for Craig Gillingham to answer the rest of the puzzle.

Thank you for the point.

I've found that this car was used to launch gliders at Turku Artukainen Airport during 1938.

And another point to Craig.  This car is actually quite famous in Finland, where the airport is located.  This was previously the car of Marshal Mannerheim.
