Doesn't "EGB" stand for East Grand Boulevard, Detroit Michigan and in our context refers to the Packard Plant there?

No takers? How about a group of alpha leaders of unknown origin? The flag could be something to go on, the uniforms or the facade in the background maybe.
Ebay says, the pic is a factory photo, that shows a 1939 Packard Twelve Sedan. The rest is left for the swarm intelligence. image source: eBay, item number: 370817263210 Click to enlarge! Attach file: (51.73 KB)

Probably not a 39 either. In 39 the radiator shutters were painted and chrome, so this is probably a 38.

On the subject of Spain, we have another attempt. Alfonso XIII, King of Spain.

 Five years ago I was on the brink to discuss a couple of pics that show an probably armored detail of a government car but then I've lost the pics. Now I found a related photograph (shown below) at wikipedia.  Photograph of British Prime Minister Clement Attlee, Secretary of State James Byrnes and British Ambassador Lord Halifax in the back of a limousine (10 November 1945). sources image #1 - LIFE magazine image #2 - wikipedia

In January 29, 1928, the New York Times talked about "the potential candidacy of Governor Alvan T. Fuller for the Presidency of the United States". Reason enough for me to show him in this thread next to a Packard. There was one period in time when it wouldn't have been exaggerated to call him even Mr. Packard in person.
"In 1910, he moved his Packard and Cadillac dealerships from Park Square to a new, $300,000 automotive palace at the intersection of Commonwealth and Brighton avenues, opening it - appropriately - on Washington's Birthday. The location was dubbed "Fuller's Folly'' because it was built near swamp land and considered so far from downtown Boston that no one would shop there. Instead, Fuller sold so many cars that other dealers scrambled to open near him, earning Commonwealth Avenue the moniker "Automobile Row''. ...by the 1920s his business was recognized as the world's most successful auto dealership." sources quotation #1 - nytimes.com quotation #2 - Boston.com 2012/02/19 image: eBay, item number 370753123127 Attach file: (51.27 KB)
