I have seen this somewhere else.  It is a Buick from around 1921-22. Not at home til later when I can find the file.

Judging by the shape of the back window that Model T must be a coupe. This is an 18

It is a 1922 Buick Sport Roadster Model 22-54 introduced in January of 1922..  To quote 70 Years of Buick; "This was a sleek maroon car with red Houk wire wheels of 32 x 4 1/2 size. It used the 124" wheelbase chassis, was upholstered in red Spanish leather and red wool carpeting, and its instruments included a Van Sicklen speedometer and clock."  It cost $1785 compared with $1495 for the regular roadster on the 118" wheelbase chassis. There was also a companion Model 22-55 Sport Touring.

 

I wonder if there are any survivors out of the 2,000 plus built.  A quick search found this one  -   http://www.roncobb.com/Buick1922.html   -   and this one on what look like Dutch plates   -
