Bingo--It's a 1926 whippet
My grand dad had a whippet he ran in the automobile hill climbs at Newport Indiana.
If your ever in Indy in the fall, this is an annual event.

Glad I finally pegged that Whippet, I was so sure it was a Kissell at first.

Now who can identify the next mystery car, this one has some historical significance.

Nope not a Stanley, this one is powered by "Infernal Combustion" as they used to say.
