I agree, this car is most likely a Leach from the Leach Biltwell Motor Company, one of the rarest historic automobiles of our time (check the main image in this article for comparison): http://theoldmotor.com/?tag=leach-biltwell-motor-co

It also has the correct Kissel cowl lights and visor for thse years. please google " 1923 Kissel Sedan " and you will see a picture of 1923 Kissel Model 55 just like this one, except a Model 55 doesn't have the hood vent like a Model 45 does.
