one more car
One more car to identify. should be a tough one, or maybe not.
It's a pre-1930 touring car that was forced to do double duty. The owner is a fairly famous name, but not necessarily in relation to cars. It's different from most big touring cars and the identifying features may jump out at you, or maybe not.

No, I don't think the president would want to ride in this car.

Lightbulb Larry's Explode-o-mobile. Designed to kill his competitors. He could never get Tom Edison to ride in it. :(

No, it isn't a Doble. It's a gasoline powered car.
You're right, DanaT, almost. It is not a Lambo but it shares something with a Lamborghini.

It looks to me like a 1906 Christie Touring Car. The wheels are very interesting. If I am correct it was used for racing.

I looked closely, Bill, but nothing jumps out at me.
I'll wait for your revelation.

The only things that jump out are the front suspension (coilovers, MacP struts, front wheel drive?) and that it has bot electric and carbide or kerosene lighting. I wish I could make the image bigger... HH
Edited to add: it also appears to be air-cooled (no radiator cap)...

I think cars look practically alike now. Wow! Very minute differences in a lot of those things. I found a 1905 (or was it 08) Upton. Except for the front and another angle on the engine compartment, it was virtually identical - down to the shape of the fenders!
