Sightseeing in Amsterdam (Update: Graham Brothers?)

Recently we were given a little brochure issued by “Lissone’s Tourist offices”. The brochure was published in 1929 for handing out to tourists who were to visit Amsterdam in The Netherlands. Of course it lists all the tourist highlights like the Rijksmuseum, the Diamond Cutting factory, a visit to Marken and Volendam and naturally a roundtrip by motorboat through the canals. For us it was amazing to discover how little has changed, as you can still visit Amsterdam and do the same things. But we really liked this picture of (as the brochure puts it) “our modern sightseeing car on an old-fashioned drawbridge”. We know for sure that the bridge is the Skinny Bridge that crosses the Amstel river, but we’re not sure about the make of the charabanc. What could it be? [email protected] (RB)

Update: Tom Chaney suggests an early 20s Graham Brothers because of the "Dodge-like" shape of the radiator shell and the long emblem.
