Very similar to the 1916 Studebaker....lots of similarities like the rear spring access hole in the splash apron, 7 lugs on the wheels, etc.

Wow!  I have known this car since 1966 and have driven it on a number of occasions.  It is currently in the City of Surrey museum in Surrey, British Columbia.  It is a model SF4 7 passenger and is incorrectly dated as 1916.  It is actually a 1917 model.  The only difference is the 1917 passenger front seat is reversible so it can face the rear seat.

It was used as a stage from the Blue Funnel Line dock in New Westminster BC to the community of Haney a distance of about 25 miles, twice daily until 1927 when it was sold.  The engine was used to power a saw mill in Haney until the early 1960's, when it was restored.
