Interesting!

I have a picture of this car taken before 1910, with a caption attributing its ownership to a much better-know individual. As I said, pictures of this car indicating the incorrect (later) year are relatively easily found

That wasn't so hard, now was it?  ;)

Two points for your relentless pursuit of the answer.

Here is another, clearer pic, being flogged by a well-know seller of car pics and brochures, also incorrectly tagged as a 1910 automobile
