Mystery Tourer with Seven Hats and Caps

We hope you all had a good weekend. This week’s Monday mystery was sent in by Piet Geirnaert. He told us that on the back of this photograph is written 13th of March 1921 Soestdijk (which is in the Netherlands. This is very likely the date and place the photograph was taken. Looking at the shape of the radiator and the body we think it might well be a Ley. Do you think that we are right?

Please comment below if you can tell us more about the pre-war car we see here.

I also suspected it might be a post-WW1 Phänomen phaeton, but cannot provide such excellent photo evidence like Fredy.

At least I've attached an enlargement from a photo showing a slightly later Phänomen car where the shape of the radiator badge is visible more clearly (even if the inscription is legible on the original print, only).

Phänomen cars were well-renowned back then, but like many other cars from "subordinate" German manufacturers they are very poorly documented. Hence, every "new photo" is valuable evidence for those who are into early German automobiles...
