Looks small enough to be a Hupmobile, but the front axle's wrong and so are the wheels
Opinionated but sometimes wrong

I expected this to be food for you!

But it is no Hupmobile, and you're quite a way off geographically.

A very belated answer to you, Jim: It is a circa 1907 Unic - a 1908 Unic, to be precise. Two points for you!

Perhaps Jim will reciprocate and address some of his long-unresponded-to puzzles.

Great to see you back, @re
