Can someone identify this car for me? It is from a postcard dated 1912, in Iowa--notice the snow chain on the rear wheels. It looks to be rather ornate, with the curved glass. Any definitive answers? or ideas? Thanks in advance. jmr

Photo was taken in Essex, Iowa. Driver is John A. Anderson, reportedly. What is the vehicle?

Remember the days when people were so proud of their new autos that dealers/owners were equally proud to have it in the newspaper? Published August 13, 1914. Boo-yah! Thanks for the guidance, AACA.org members!

Wow guys, a response within 10 minutes of the post! And the Livingston aftermarket radiator looks spot-on -- car guys were car guys even then. Now back to my newspaper clippings to see if the Yankee Fotographer owned a 1914 Ford. Thanks so much! jmr

I'm looking for clues to the identity of the man in the photo so it makes sense to start with the automobile he's in. "If" this is the Yankee Fotographer shown in the image, he died in 1925, so the vehicle is likely from before that. To me the lines of the car aren't striking, but the grille with the downward-slanted V-configuration strikes me as unique. (Or were guys into customization back then, too? The Yankee Fotographer was a real car-guy of the time, with a 1903-ish Waltham Orient speedster -- thanks nzcarguy for the ID-- a Brush, a 1911 Ford, and a 1918-ish Willys Six.) What make and possible year come to mind?

Wow, I think you nailed it, nzcarnerd. I plan on identifying it in a book, so I'd really like to be accurate. But on the face of it . . . .

I'm trying to identify the small runabout automobile pictured on the RIGHT SIDE of this landscape photo. Helpful clues include: Photographed in Spirit Lake, Iowa (upper midwest) LF Williamz, photographer, copyrighted the image in 1908 -- so it is likely from early '08 or '07 It is likely the photographer's car. Mr. Williamz' obituary said he was noted for bring a wood-finished BRUSH automobile to the area just after the turn of the century. However, a cursory web search doesn't show any vehicles like this Possibilities to think about: Two-seat runabout Looks like tiller steering, but it may be a bad angle Note that the "engine compartment" looks to be under the seat and behind Beyond this, I'm lost -- who can help? Thanks
