Your observations may lead you the way, although the driver is not a man.

Yes!

And I have to admit that I may have given a misleading answer here:

Yes, it is the 1901 Jenkins Runabout, buit for Mexican Alice Espiridiona, known as Chiquita the Doll Lady, because of her height of just 26''.

Two more points for you, Ray.

Well, I'll be darned!  It was a guess based on a photo of the Chiquita where the name of the manufacturer was shown.
