The 1922 "cape top" by Brunn is a pretty well-known car. Some pictures of when it was being prepped at Automotive Restorations here in NJ for it's Pebble reliability run. Interesting little story about it's performance on that run - it broke down at one point as one of the two resistors in the Bijur ignition system failed but it was again made roadworthy by using a piece of street debris (broken small saw blade) wedged between the terminals. Note the absence of doors for the rear seat compartment.

Built for a Pennsylvania coal baron as I recall. Just in a remarkable state of preservation.
