Circa 1901 Isotta-Fraschini 3 1/2cv?

"The first Isotta-Fraschini's were in fact Renault's assembled by Isotta-Fraschini, with coachwork by Belloni from Milan"

Congrats, Joao. You seem to have it right. The car is from the Henry Ford Museum.

Yes it is the Isotta Fraschini that was once the property of the Henry Ford Museum.  It was sold at auction in the 1980's to a private collector.  Purported to be the first Isotta Fraschini which was derived from the Renault D model, using a DeDion-Bouton engine.  The first photograph below is from the auction catalog.  The second photograph is the builder's plate which indicates that it is a 1902.
