A mystery with two adorable little children

• 

Look at these two adorable little children posing on the running board of this week’s mystery car. The photograph was sent in by one of our PreWarCar.com enthusiasts from the sovereign state Switzerland, officially Swiss Confederation. It was given to him by a friend.

We see a large tourer in Ftan, a village high in the Swiss Alps, in the Engadin valley, canton of Graubünden (Grisons). Quite remarkably as motorcars were not allowed in this large Eastern canton until 1926. Meaning the photograph was taken after 1926, but looking at the (style) of the photograph we would date it somewhat later anyway.

Now over to the car. We can clearly see the side of the car, the windscreen and the shape of the radiator. For which make and type are they distinctive? Please comment below if you can tell us more about the pre-war car in the photograph.
