Period images to relieve some of the stress

My great-grandfather was a chauffeur for A.J. Cassatt and his family. Cassatt was president of the Pennsylvania Railroad (and brother of the painter Mary). One of the cars my great-grandfather drove for the Cassatts is pictured below.
It looks very similar in style to Woodrow Wilson’s presidential limo which I believe was a 1919 Pierce-Arrow. Cassatt died in 1906, so it would have been his widdow’s car, but I’m curious if anyone has some insight on what model/year this may have been from?

Tatra 11 and 12, with swing-rear axle and air-cooled boxer twin. The czech small car  were quite popular in Austria, many was kept as second car in well-to -do families. The lady driver has went as far as Itlay with her early  Typ 11, affectionately called  Nessie after the Loch Ness Monster. In connection to the Austrian Touring-Club a Tatra-Club was established in 1926. The second photois from one of the Club's first Fox hunts
