Custom Ford T maybe?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #3 on:** November 24, 2008, 08:13:14 AM »

Not a Ford

Looks like a Cadillac modelcar I owned when I was a child.

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #5 on:** November 24, 2008, 11:28:14 AM »

Not a Cadillac. This short-lived brand is virtually forgotten today.

Arunas · « **Reply #6 on:** November 24, 2008, 01:25:38 PM »

Made in 1900-1905 maybe? $:-\$

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #7 on:** November 24, 2008, 01:47:59 PM »

Nope - a little later than that.

Then I'd say 1905 - 1910. USA?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #9 on:** November 24, 2008, 02:59:18 PM »

That date range is correct.

And made in USA?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #11 on:** November 24, 2008, 03:19:39 PM »

It was manufactured in the US.

I thought of Kissel maybe. Otherwise Brush or EMF, though the latter ones had a bit different grille... Or maybe Thomas made some smaller models?

Ray B. · « **Reply #13 on:** November 25, 2008, 08:12:57 AM »

I say Stevens Duryea.

Faksta: as a rule of thumb, multiple guesses in a post are frowned upon, unless explicitly allowed by the puzzle poster.

No sir. Less well-know than that.

Aargh!
Looked very much like some I saw -but this isn't unusual in these years. I couldn't find one with the same wings, but the radiator shell was exactly the same though.

All right. One more try then I wait until I find the exact same picture. Stoddard Dayton?

Arunas · « **Reply #17 on:** November 25, 2008, 09:01:38 AM »

Is a name of the manufacturer single word?

OK, sorry.

Since it was your first offense, I'll let you know none of your multiple guesses was correct.

Yes!

Arunas · « **Reply #21 on:** November 25, 2008, 01:01:13 PM »

Ok.. let me summarize: It is American, very little known, and its name is single word..

Let me do some wild gussing: I'd say it is 1910 Kennedy (If I am right, if have no name of a model)..

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #22 on:** November 25, 2008, 04:13:45 PM »

Not one of those...

Ray B. · « **Reply #23 on:** November 25, 2008, 04:39:48 PM »

It's a 1909 Petrel. Here is the driver side.
From your answer to faksta you seem to have it under another name, but my source seems quite documented.

Where did he guess Petrel?

The site that provided your pic does not include the model designation.
