I am going to leave this in the Rookie section for a while because I am sure the Experts will zap this one in no time.

You would be correct!
Built in Chicago, the Partin-Palmer was an interesting car and company.
In 1914, the Partin-Palmer 20 tourer was offered with a four-cylinder watercooled engine of 22 hp (16 kW), with Gray and Davis generator, optional Gray and Davis electric starter, and (still unusual) shaft drive.[2] It had a 56 in (142 cm) tread (track) and 96 in (2438 mm) wheelbase,[2] with ¾-elliptic springs and I-beam front axle[2] (which would still be seen on Ford pickups into the 1990s). The 20 came standard with electric lighting and horn, folding top with side curtains and dust boot, speedometer, the (typical for the period) tool kit, jack, and tire patch, all for US$495.[2] By contrast, around that time, the high-volume Oldsmobile Runabout was US$650,[3] the Ford Model S was US$700 and Model T US$550, a Brush Runabout was US$485,[4] a Metz Model 22 $475,[5] Western's Gale Model A US$500,[6] the Black starting as low as $375,[7] and the Success an amazingly low US$250.[3]

You get the point!

Has anything been obscured/removed in the pic, and if so can you post the unmodified version?

Sorry for the delayed answer. I had to go check to be sure I hadn't masked anything.
The picture is as it is. The answer I gave came straight out of Wikipedia.
And, the car can be yours for $18000 from InternetClassicCars dot Com.
