Old touring car

[T Dirx]

I need help identifying this car. Photo taken in Chicago area about 1911. Interesting that there is no windscreen. My grandfather is on the fender mounted jump seat.

Thanks for any help!

Looks like a Lozier. Here is a 1910 Lozier Briarcliff....

Windshields/windscreens did not really begin to become standard equipment on most automobiles until almost 1910, with most models of automobiles they remained optional until about 1910 or slightly later. In most parts of the world, they weren't required until about 1930 or even later. There were many automobiles, and most slower trucks that did not have windshields well into the 1920s.

Yes, it is a Lozier 6-cylinder Briarcliff touring.  I'd say it is an early 1910 because of the Solar sidelamps w/o the bale handle and what appears to me the rounded upper tank of the radiator.  Only problem I see with this Lozier is that it's not in my garage!

 

I would sure like a copy of the original photo.
