ID for 1914? era car

[whtbaron]

A friend of mine was asking if this was a Whippet 4... looks much earlier to me, maybe a 1914 era car?

 

This should be easier to ID than the usual pile of rusty parts I'm trying to work with...

Model T Ford about 1917.

Hmmm... OK... I was thinking the hood vents looked too far back for a Model T.

 

Thanks.

Right hand drive Canadian-built Model T Ford.

Note the door hinges for left front door ( unless the image has been reversed).

Are those ducks hanging off of the top irons and side of the T?

Maybe it's the "Watson brothers". Seems like in all of the old shows, the Watson brothers were front and center with firearms.

Looking at the pocket on the dad's jacket and the Jr's shirt/buttons orientation, I'd say the image was not reversed. 

 

Canadian T's had left doors but were they RHD?

My understanding is that they were hunting buddies, and that the shorter one is my friend's father. It was most likely taken in Canada so a Canadian built car is quite probable.

Canadian T's were built both left and right hand drive. At that time the English provinces drove on the left side of the road (right hand drive cars) and the French Provinces on the other. So the bodies would fit either, both the front doors were operational. Canadian right hand drive cars were exported to the British Commonwealth since the tax laws favored that over American built cars. Most Australian, New Zealand, South African, Indian, British Isles, etc., Model T Fords were of Canadian origin.

British Columbia drove on the left until 1920.
