Unidentified 1910 Automobile

[Wdb1945]

Picture was probably taken in 1923 in Indianapolis.  The jaunty driver is my wife’s grandfather, Wilbur Clark Johnson who was a local automobile dealer.  The sign implies that the car was built in 1910.

Any idea of the make and model.

We appreciate any help you can give us.

Hupmobile, model 20 long wheel base of late 1912 early 1913

Thank you for the id.  I forgot to mention that he was a Hupmobile dealer in Indianapolis at some point.

 

The puzzling part when comparing to other Hupmobile pictures is the section behind the engine cover and in front of the windshield.  Was this added because of the extended chassis length?

 

Thank you again for your response

My thought was Hupmobile too but couldn`t find a Hup cowl similar to that cowl.Has probebly been a 4-5 seat car from the beginning?

Here's picture off of barnfinds.com reported to be 1910 Hupmobile Type 20.  That was from 2018 and the car was then listed on Ebay

Is that the car that was driven around the world by a few young women? That's an amazing story.
