Dave, you rock!  What a great picture.  It looks to be a 1901 Olds.  VERY Early car.  That car was not around when I got there.  A shame.

Thought you would get a kick out of seeing the photo -

Shouldn't it have wire-wheels if it is from the 1901-02 period? 1903 Curved Dash came with both types of wheels.

This looks to be another pic of the same car. According to the article in The Standard Catalog, Olds built several gas cars in 1898.

 

 

When dating the car I took in consideration the fire in the original Detroit Olds Factory in March 1901, only the prototype of the Curved Dash was saved.

I think the cars built pre 1901 were all 'one offs' - experimental models.
