Maserati Tipo 26 in the later 1920s. Next to him, a smiling Pietro Brunori of Roma. He did race some Tipo 26 around 1928, perhaps a Tipo 26 C or a Tipo 26 MM (based on what Google tells me). This kind of car was first constructed in 1926, with an upright grille like the one in this picture. The radiator has "26" painted on it, may be a coincidence, and nothing to do with the production year?  Or it may be "16" or "36"... <hr>The car has two front headlamps, rotated towards each other to avoid damage from stones. This indicates it may have been equipped for Mille Miglia (or similar endurance race), in which case this may be a Tipo 26 MM ("MM" for Mille Miglia), but they had entry #24 and dit not start in the 1928 Mille Miglia.
