GREAT Photo! Thanks for posting it, and Welcome to the Forum! If you could post closeups of the radiators it may help ID the cars. The 4th, 6th and 8th cars from the left are the three best in the group.

If I had to guess, I'd say the photo was taken in 1912. The tags on all of the cars appear to be smooth without the embossed numbers of a metal plate. The only plate that was issued in NY without the raised letters is a 1912 porcelain plate. The NY was on the right side and the style of the numbers used matches those in your photo. The number on the plate of my 12 Ford is 71752, and is close to the number on the car to the right of the fold, 70734. I would also guess that that same car is an Overland. I think the 1912 Overland was the last with right hand drive, so it seems to fit.
