ID this car

Can someone tell me the make and the approximate year of this car? Thank You.

Whenever you see an early speedster you can be pretty sure it's a Model T. All kinds of aftermarket bodies were available and the countryside was littered with clapped out cars whose life could be extended cheaply. This is a 19 model. see the hood.

Thats not a T speedster though, it has the rounded grill of a whippet,and external contracting brakes on big drums. The rear wheels have more spokes than the front .It appears to have eliptic springs on the front rather than a T's single tranverse spring.

The valance panel is straight(ish) rather than curved like the T's.

The rabbit is a scawny specimen. Surely with that much firepower they could have bagged some bigger game.

Also, unless the picture's been flipped, this car has right hand drive. Note external levers.

I see what you mean, Ron. The hood isn't exactly the same,either. I thought the owner was standing in front of some louvers but not, and the hold down is wrong.

It looks a little like a 1913 Overland Roadster, except for the hood louvers.
