In the Cloud: 1923
San Francisco, 1923. "Studebaker rally car." Possibly a veteran of one of the brass-era Glidden Tours or similar event. 5x7 glass negative. View full size.
Enter, stage right
I'm pretty sure the Studebaker is making its entrance on the stage of the U.C. Berkeley's Greek Theatre. The doorways and columns sure look the same. See photo below.
The campus location might also explain the two "California" pennants prominently displayed across the auto.

Argh! Trying again...
Stockton?
Just wondering: why does this old Stude have the name "Stockton" emblazoned across the radiator?
[Emblazoning your radiator with a custom badge proclaiming your home town seems to have been A Thing for several decades, as with this later San Francisco Studebaker. -tterrace]
Interesting, but for me it raises the question: only in California?
Exactly - I had never noticed this particular emblazoning on ANY old car before this one, from ANY state. Maybe someone will chime in with more information...
