White made cars with flat topped fenders as well, including this famous President Taft 1909 model. I recall this is a steam model, rad shell is well forward of front axle. The 1909 White Truck has rad shell back at axle line. An internet search shows White's with a variety of fender styles.

I may be wrong, but I don't think the car is a Garford.  The Garford has flat "flutes" on the hood and radiator that have very sharp defined edges.  The car in the original post has smoother rounded edges on the radiator and hood shapes.  This is obvious to me when comparing the hood former on the mystery car to the hood former of the Garford.  Also, the car in the original post has a different radiator emblem from the Garford.  Lastly, the Garford has the tie rod ahead of the front axle whereas the mystery car does not.
