Help indentify 1913 era car

[Guest Stismith]

My brother has been doing the family genealogy. He sent me this pic of my great grandpa in his car, the little kid is my grandpa.

I am trying to identify the car in the photo which I think is a 1912 Buick.

The license plate is a 1913 North Dakota plate. Being North Dakota, I would think it would be relatively common car make.

I appreciate the help.

Unfortunately many cars of that era looked very much alike. It bears a resemblance to the comtemporary Overland but I am not sure. The badge does not look right to be Buick. 1912 would be about right for the date.

To me it looks like a 1912 Buick,the last year for a round radiator badge seems to be 1912.Looking at the wheel hub it looks Buick too.Photo from the book 70 Years of Buick by G H Dammann.

Thanks Leif that does look like the car.

I thought Overland first, because of the fenders, but most grill shells in picture I saw were more rounded at the top.

What threw me off was the cowl lights. On many cars in saw on the internet had square one's where these are round style, like in the Buick book photo. Maybe they used both.

This probably explains why my grandpa was a diehard Buick guy, since his dad had one.

Thanks Scott Smith
