Solved - MJW #1063 - Hispano-Suiza H6C by James Young, Melbourne 1924

I going to go out on that limb again, and try USA.  If so, I'll call the puzzle car a: 1924 Hispano Suiza H6C by Rollston.

Baffling question, indeed.

I am supporting 4popoid at this point for a couple of reasons but I am still not sure.

The vehicle in the background looks to be something American, even including the license/registration plate.
The dress of the spectators in the photo seem to be "working class" folk and could possibly be Americans also.

My main concern is the shades over the three windows which is not really typical of American coachwork but usually more European.

If the bodywork is truly American, I would hazard a guess that it has to be either a car bodied in the New York area or the Los Angeles area as Hispanos were truly rare in this country and most often to be found on one coast or the other.

Go for it 4popoid, I am stuck.

No it's not by a coachbuilder from the USA.
Hopefully that will cut out some unnecessary research...

[4popoid]

Well, unless it's a smaller producer, that pretty much leaves Germany.  If so, I'll call the puzzle car a: 1924 Hispano Suiza H6C by Erdmann & Rossi.

You have to go further afield

Laurin & Klement / Skoda ?

[4popoid]

Austria?  If so, I'll call the puzzle car a: 1924 Hispano Suiza H6C by Lohner. 

[mekubb]

Russia ?

[targhediferro]

Uhlic?

[D-type]

That would be from Czechoslovakia?

Further than that.....

Australia?

[woodinsight]

Not Czech, Austrian or Russian........BUT it is Australian!

I'll LOCK it for D-Type until his next answer to see if he can come up with the name of the Australian coachbuilder.

[D-type]

Please unlock I was just fishing.

Blind guess: Holden made body

Thanks Duncan but it's not a body by Holden...

[Craig Gillingham]

James Flood?

[mekubb]

Wilkinson & Sons ?

[4popoid]

1924 Hispano Suiza H6C by T. J. Richards?

[targhediferro]

Kellow & Falkiner?

[woodinsight]

Not by James Flood, Richards, Wilkinson or Kellow & Falkiner.......
Craig's answer is closest.

[4popoid]

1924 Hispano Suiza H6C by Martin & King?

[woodinsight]

1924 Hispano Suiza H6C by Martin & King?

Not by Martin & King.

If my source is correct, the coachbuilder shares it's name with a well-known British one...

[4popoid]

That could be a great hint.  How about 1924 Hispano Suiza H6C by Coachcraft (G.H.Olding & Sons)?

This coachbuilder is normally referred to by two words....
