It's a 1909 Selden Double Rumble Roadster, and it cost $2000 according to their sales brochure.

Wow - how did you home in on that so quickly, given the proliferation of 1909 automobiles?

Easy, Googled 1909 rumble roadster, as I knew that was the body style, and a very similar Selden car appears at the top of the page. That took me to a digital image of a 1909 Selden brochure on a public library website, and looking through the pages, I saw the same car as in the puzzle.
