This is a project I've been working on for the last year or so. Posting this pic, which I will follow up later with info- just seeing if anyone here can Identify or has thoughts about this car - i'm curious to see if anyone here has anything helpful. Thanks for looking

MAYBE...1913 Lexington

The radiator has the features of Kinwood manufacture. They made radiators for Stoddard and others so some of the styling features we associate with car names are actually the radiator manufacturer's features. Pictures below are of a Lexington radiator made by Kinwood.

 

As for the wire wheels..1913 McCue brand?  They made wire wheels for later 1912 model year cars and 1913 model year. After being bought out by a group of investors and being redesigned, the new type was called Houk, fresh for the 1914 car model year. Last picture attached is of a 1913 Stutz with McCue wire wheels.

And the answer is, in the form of a question: What is a Moose Jaw Standard circa 1917.  
Full answer tomorrow, bedtime now...standby.
