SEE! Some of them were a color other than black!
However, The car appears to be right hand drive and has the Canadian slanted and both upper and lower frames swing (fold?) windshield. Very likely this would be a Canadian export model, and the picture taken in Australia or New Zealand. It was much more common for them to have the cars painted some other color.

Also, notice, the cowl on this car. It appears to be an Australian or New Zealand built body. There were a few importers to those nations that built bodies for Ford and other cars. The import tariffs were considerably lower on chassis than complete automobiles to encourage local employment. The shipping costs were also a big savings as chassis could be stacked deeper than complete cars in the cargo holds.
