I measured the car body in the picture based on my grandfather's height of 6'-0", and the car body is twice as long as he is tall in the picture, measured from c/l of cowl to the back end. So my estimate is the cab is 12' long and about 6' tall! Mike

Great info, thank you guys! My grandfather came to the US through France and Ellis Island and settled in Detroit, then Highland Park, Michigan, and resided there from 1907 to 1920. He was a woodworker/carpenter by trade. He became a naturalized US citizen in 1917 at age 34 after 3 years of applications, and went back to Armenia through New York to France in December 1920 to bring his few remaining family members back to the United States in June 1921. Interesting though, he registered for the US Army at the start of WWII at age 59 but did not serve I presume due to his age! He resided the remainder of his life in Highland Park, Michigan and continued his trade as a carpenter and home builder throughout those years. Mike

Found this pic of a 1917 Hudson Super Six Town Car based on the comments here. Not sure if this is US or not, but the driver's side door doesn't appear to be in operation on this one either, and the larger window opening looks similar too.

Interesting! The guys on the Model A Forum agree with what you said, and suggested I inquire over here. All the years I thought it was Henry! Never had a reason not to, I thought it looked like him but must be because that's what I thought since I was a kid!

Also, the picture was printed on large 7" x 12" paper, versus the typical post card style prints of the era. I assumed there must have been some significance or reason of importance for why the picture was taken? My mother said the picture was of a Ford vehicle with Henry Ford sitting in the back seat, so I figured it was taken in the US. My grandfather came to the United States in 1907. Thanks! Mike

Good afternoon! I came across a picture of my grandfather and some others around an old car body. My mother had said the picture was from 1909, and that it was Henry Ford sitting in the back seat, but I posted the pic on the Model A forum and it does not appear it's actually Henry based on the responses there. My grandfather is the tall fellow standing behind the center window, he was born in 1883 and was a woodworker. He looks fairly young in this picture so the 1909 date may be accurate, but the car body looks later to me, like early 20s. Any help identifying it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance, Mike
