I am quickly running out of potential possibilities built in 1908.  Was the manufacturer of this vehicle making automobiles outside of the range 1905-1911?

Finally! It is the Truffault Voiturette, a license-built Pipe.

A hard-earned point to you.

Thanks Gerd.  I just about blew that one.  I had convinced myself that this was a shaft drive vehicle, and because of this had ruled out Truffault very early on.  Because I was running out of possibilities, I went back and restudied your photograph.  Doing so, I discovered that what I had thought was a drive shaft was apparently a structural member, and what I thought was a structural brace was really part of the belt drive cited in my Truffault reference.  Anyway, what originally seemed like a relatively easy puzzle, due to the unusual suspension, turned out to be a bit of a killer.
