I found it also called Cunningham DePalma Speedster and from 1922.
I'm not sure DePalma was part of the factory name.

I'm going to award the point for that. It was pictured on a well-known site and was identified with help from the AACA as a c.1922 car, but they look identical to me. It was named as a dePalma speedster.

Another point nearer the new benchmark level!

Thank you for the point, I haven't been able to find any reference to the DePalma model name. Bellow is a picture of Ralph DePalma in the 1919 record breaking car.
