Identification request

[Thriller]

I got this from a local acquaintance who is trying to identify the car for a friend, whose father is one of the children in the photo.

This was taken in Manitoba in 1914. There is thought that it could be a 1909 McLaughlin, so that's how I wound up with it...if it is the case, it is 20 years older than any actual car I have.

Anyway, in spite of the children obscuring much of it, if anyone can point out some features to identify the car that would be great. It is definitely right hand drive, which would pretty much have to be at that point. Are the lamps of any use for identification? The car looks taller to me than any of the photos of early cars in the Standard Catalog of Buick.

you should bring the photo to the club meeting this sunday.

If it is a Buick of that vintage Ross Metcalf may be able to ID it for you as his dad , or was it his grandfather... had a 1910 Buick I believe, and Ross may have an eye for the details of such a car.
