Need help identifying 1911-1912 era roadster

What say ye?

I say the picture says it all. A Little just as the banner is advertising. 1912 or 1913 Four ( that is the model a four cylinder 20 H.P. built as a roadster only).

Sharp eyes!

This was a postcard and written on the back says this:

Addressed to:Miss Helen Henze, 215 W. 14 St., Elwood, Ind.

Windfall, Ind. Dec. 8, 1912,

Dear Friend-, I arrived home O.K. This picture I am sending you isn't very good of me but is pretty good of Mary Stickman. It was taken by Mary's home. I guess B.R. and D.L. are O.K. I haven't seen Ruda yet today. Have you seen R.M. lately? Try and come up Xmas and bring your sister and Arthur. If he will come. Write soon and tell me the news.

Your Friend,

Irene Edwards. Box 38

My note: distance from Elwood to Windfall is 13 miles

The Little was a General Motors product. It was named after a GM board member. However it did not sell very well. So it was renamed after a winning race driver of the period Mr. Louis Chevrolet, and branded with a Bowtie pattern from hotel wallpaper. The rest they say is history.

Bill Little was not a GM board member, although he had worked at Buick earlier. All of the Little/Chevrolet history in this era happened independently of GM. The Little was the first car Durant put on the market after he had been ousted from GM. The Little sold quite well initially but wasn't very good. The first Chevrolet Four was more than just a renaming of the Little.

I thought that the Little did not sell well. That was why it was renamed as a Chevrolet? In any case it is a sporty little roadster, no pun intended.
