(#13) What is it? Identify that car!

We recently received a massive collection of prewar car photographs. We are equipped to identify cars in photographs. Due to the volume of unidentified images, we decided to try something new….and something that is hopefully fun for you!

Do you think you have what it takes to ID the vehicle(s) in the image? If so, please give us the make and model year and, whenever possible, the reasons why you believe your identification is correct. Some vehicles will be easier to identify than others, but we will share them all with you regardless. After we receive some guesses, we will check our available resources to see how you did. Good luck!

Hmmm, not much to go on with that one. Date around 1912-14(?), three quarter elliptic rear springs. Hard to say what the rear window of the top looks like - might be four panels?

 

I think that top has a removable rear panel like this 1913 Overland. The top bows match but the rear fender shape is different.

I reckon our mystery car is a 1914 Overland.  We had another '14 Overland recently - #11. Could this be the same car?

If an Overland, it's certainly not a 1914.  Immediately I noticed that the seemingly large, flat wooden firewall is too early for a '14 Overland.  Also, the rear fender line at the rear portion is totally unlike my 1914 Overland 79T.   I'm guess, may a 1912 Overland?
