An obscure Case it is, indeed!

I will NOT lock it for Wendax, because Iīve helped a lot within the last posts, I think.

Go for it Pros!

It was built by J.I.Case Threshing Machine Company, Racine, Wisconsin and the initials "J.I.C." sounds like "Jay-Eye-See"

As far as this horse has been named after the company founder's initials: Jerome Increase Case => JIC.

The driver is the picture is Louis Disbrow.

Later became a garage owner, aviator, racing car and boat builder, then a engineer and spark plug manufacturer, before becoming a race official. He even carried on racing well into his 50's. All of these was achieved despite, or maybe because of, being accused and then acquitted of murder back in 1902.

Click the link for a PDF of a 1902 news article about said accusation.

I've been told this car has been posted before it did not show up when I searched.
One easy expert point.

This is the Jay-Eye-See, a racing car built around 1912, which was named after a famous racehorse that was in turn named for his owner, industrialist Jerome Increase Case (JIC), the founder of the J. I. Case Threshing Machine Company of  Racine, Wisconsin.  The Case company sponsored the Jay-Eye-See, which was driven by Louis Disbrow.
