Definitely not Ford. Possibly ca.1913 Studebaker or any one of many makes that look like that.

It's not a 15 Studebaker. They didn't have a brass radiator and had a sweeping cowl, bot the flat wood firewall as seen here. Also, they had curved fenders and electric lights.

Having said that, I don't think its a Model T either. Radiator is wrong...the Ford had a simple square opening, not with two angled serfaces towards the top as this car has.
Also, by 15 the T had a flowing cowl, not a flat one like this car. Finally, Ts also had split windshields.

For sure Buick Model 10 like this 1910 model:

Not a 100 % match. Notice the fenders, on the Buick they have straight tips, whereas on this one they're curved. Secondly, the crossmember is totally wrong. Not saying it's not a Buick, though.

OK. Searching up "1910 Buick" on Google Images now!
Edit: No similar cars. ;)

Who made this a 1913 Maxwell without any comment?

And it does not look very similar when comparing it on Google.

Back to unknown.

1912 Paige. The owner was a friend of my Dad's and was wheelchair bound. He designed a sling system for his garage and had it installed to increase his mobility. He restored the Paige and trailered it behind a 1933 Cadillac that he also restored. It was one of the background vehicles in the 1969 Steve McQueen movie, The Reivers.[Image: p17.jpg]

I had the year wrong, should have been 1912 I believe. The owner lived in Blytheville, AR at the time of the movie before retiring to central Arkansas before passing.

The Paige Four was the only model offered in 1912. Paiges of that era had very elegant names: "Beverly Touring," "Kenilworth Roadster," "Brooklands Racer," and perhaps for me "Brunswick Touring."
