Thanks for the mystery. One of many!

I have no Tiedemann listed in my listings as yet but that is perhaps not surprising. There is new (old) information all the time and I suspect it will always be that way.

If you are serious in your quest to satisfy your curiousity, I would suggest that you go to the town and look up family, friends and neighbors who might know something and/or know someone who might know something. A good excuse for an adventure. Outside of that, you will probably have to rely on luck combined with diligence that it may turn up in some record somewhere that accidentally gets shared somewhere it can be found.

If anything at all can be remembered about the car, we would have a better start. "Alfa" is good, even if not all "Alfa" or "Alpha" were necesarily "Afa Romeo". "Yellow" is good. "Two-seater" even better. However, "cigar shaped" is perhaps unlikely at that time and is certainly unlikely for a prewar (WWI) car of almost any type unless it was one of a very few advanced racing cars.

Number of cylinders, outside exhaust, cloth top or none, radiator shape would all be of some help in trying to make a tentative identification as to possibilities. Rear brakes? Fuel tank filler location? Spare tire or tires?

It will be difficult for a person who was a child to remember some of these details and there is always the chance of confusion, particularly if there was more than one car available as a gym.

Best of luck.
