I don't think it's a Napier - they usually had the radiator filler on a very tall stack.

My guess would be a Fiat, probably a circa 1908 20-30hp, but that radiator shape is hardly unique; the front axle looks right for a Fiat, though.

Cheers Mike.

The following two photos were sent over a while back, believed both taken in France in 1946.

Hi
Could the second one be a Renault Colorale?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renault_Colorale

I know the bonnet side is different, but there are some similarities to the
Vivaquatre in the first picture, equally it could be a pre or just post war American car

I think it has the look of a French Ford and came up with this. The front grille isnt exactly as pictured but maybe it’s a ‘top of the range’ model. The hubcaps have the typical Ford V8 emblem
