I am fairly sure that one is trick photography. I think Buster Keaton owned both of those Mercers. Apparently he was a very keen owner. Some discussion on the subject here. http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_209525-Mercer-Series-5-Raceabout-1920.html
Oh hey! Check out the position of his chrome bumper vs hers, and there is a big piece of lumber angled from the ground to the tree... to raise his car up instead of just pounding flat into the tree... I didn't notice those the 1st couple times I looked at this!
