Oldsmobile on the far left, Chalmers is third from left and Cadillac on the far right. Not sure on the car second from left.

Is that the gas tank behind the front seat? If so, I've never seen another car with that fuel tank location.

I believe the radiator shell is 1930 - 31 Model A Ford.

1940 Austin Bantam that has been modified?

possibly an 1910-11 Overland?
More flag trivia, via Homer and Apu
I don't think it is an Overland. The hood, radiator and fender proportions don't look the attachment below.

ply33, when I said "house of cards", the problem to me is the lack of critical minerals in this country to make the batteries, the Biden administration not allowing mining permits where the minerals are available, the fact that our electric grid can't produce enough power currently in some states to meet existing requirements (e.g. California), the high cost to replace batteries, the inability to recycle lithium batteries, etc. I have seen recent videos of Biden cabinet officials in congressional hearings who are responsible for figuring out how to make EVs viable in large quantities and neither had a clue about how to deal with the lack of minerals to make the batteries. And that is just one aspect of the problem. When reminded that we will just become more dependent on China, they had no answer. Bottom Line: the Biden administration is trying to sell the American people on a product that most people don't want and the administration can't even answer basic questions about how it is supposed to be our future.
BTW I don't mind if you or anyone else wants to own and drive an EV. I just don't want to be forced to do so and that is what I believe is ultimately going to happen unless a realistic view is taken.

I think the whole EV market is a house of cards based on misinformation from the administration and the media on what the true costs are. As people find out that what they are being told is not true, the EV market will falter. The sooner the better!

The key to that Milestone is having an opinion on everything and expressing it well, whether it is old cars, Bourbon, Car Shows, Auctions, etc., etc.
I enjoy it too. Like this big old 1913,owned by a friend of his and mine. Anybody but Ed know what it is?
I believe it is a 1913 Dorris.

The car looks to be around 1908 based on the shape of the front fenders, the style of the body and rear doors. If it is that era, it is not a Buick. The 1908 Buicks were much smaller cars than the original posted photo which has a long wheelbase. The radiator and hood shape also seem to have a curved shaped top, unlike the Buick radiator that was flat across the top (see Leif Holmberg's post).

I agree it is a Locomobile. What is on the front of the top tank of the radiator?
-
Here is an unrestored 1908 Lambert.

The radiator on the car in the right foreground looks very much like a 1904 Searchmont. However, too many other details don't match.
-
Yes, I think you are correct. The radiator / hood shape as well as the fenders, runningboards and cowl match the pictures below for a 1912 Little. One of the most obvious clues to me is the bracket that extends from the windshield filler board the to the windshield bracket on the cowl.

Yes, a REO.

This has been a really enjoyable thread. Thank you for your work and detailed info on getting the Baby REO running well again!

is the blue touring one of the last Loziers or first Chandlers?
It looks to be a Chandler which has similar lines to the same era Lozier.

Great work and great story!
-
The price was $75K. Really neat looking car. I don't know if it sold.

Thank you Stude Light for sharing the Baby REO story!

What paint colors are used in the woodgraining process including base coat and top coats?
Thanks,

I don't believe the car in the background is a Model T because of the two areas I've highlighted in the photo. The area where the rear fender and splash shield meet do not match the photo that Keiser31 posted. The OP photo shows a splash shield with an almost vertical line where it meets the rear fender. Also, the hood in the OP is more pointed where it meets the cowl whereas the hood in the Model T photo is smooth and rounded.

The second car is not a Model T. The hood shape is not right nor are the shape of the rear fender or splash apron.

I think it definitely is a Chalmers, which was my first thought. It is not an Overland because the radiator filler spout on an Overland was oval shaped, not round.
1914 Plates Cars in White Plains -- can they be identified?
in Period Photos - Pre WWII

All of the cars shown do not have front doors which was very typical of the period prior to 1911 - 1912. Many car body styles changed in the 1911 - 1912 time frame and went from a "step side" design to a "slab side" or smooth body side panels. All of the cars shown are 1910 - 1911 (or earlier) in my opinion based on the body style shown. I also now believe the second car from left is a Hudson Model 20.
