Initially this was another photo of a US car that I couldn't identify. A search around on the internet finally seem to confirm that this is a Dodge touring car, from the early 1920s. The photograph is dated June 1923, so I think its safe to assume that the Dodge is of this era, perhaps 1922 or 1923. It seems like the car has been driven from its garage, in order to be worked on by the female mechanic stood alongside, wielding a hefty wrench (spanner). Lady mechanics in the early 20s can't have been commonplace; it looks like she is a regular under the bonnet, if her grubby overalls are anything to go by.
Vintage Dodge on video.
Some years after putting this page live, I bought a similar Dodge to the example shown above, dating to 1924 or thereabouts. In 2020 I put together a short video about it, now added in below.
