Unknown Vehicle from Late 1890 to Early 1900's

[PhotoCar]

Can you identify this vehicle (Make, model number, year (most important in identifying the occupants), and for an expert, a possible purchase price)? I believe the photograph was taken sometime between 1890 and 1915, but I may be mistaken, especially given its poor quality. Thank you.

Thank you for your quick reply and assistance. I thought the car might be a bit older given the lack of a windshield, but with your information I will now explore the history of the Model F Buick.

Photo was likely flipped at some point. Buick automobiles that era (as with most American cars that era) were mostly right side driven. There were some cars that offered left side driven, but before 1910, they were mostly the exceptions.

Most American manufacturers were switching to left side driven by 1914, however a few stuck with right side driven until after 1920. 

Also, windshields were optional on most cars prior to about 1908, and many cars for even several years thereafter.

Funny I had a quick look at this one, saw Varun had worked it out then forgot it. Didn't even look at the wheel. 🙄😀

Thank you all for your comments (and education). I am learning so much from the experts on this site. Perhaps it's just me, but the picture flipped looks clearer. I'm still trying to identify the people in the car. Unfortunately, the original picture and any identifying information has been lost to time but you have given me hope. Thanks again!
