It might no be that easy. From the shape of the vehicle and the story the sender of the picture wrote I am sure that it is of European origin. I would date it to early to mid 1920s.

The chances are good that it is of French origin. Looking at the shape of the radiator and the front wings it resembles most a Panhard-Levassor. A picture I have in a book of a coupé de ville on a 16 cv type X26 chassis looks rather similar (despite the body, of course).

I hope that helps to start further research.
