I found another picture of it with the caption "This millionaire’s sleek electric cab caused a stir in 1912, even among blasé New Yorkers."

These two images are part of a set of photos taken taken at the same time/location by the same photographer. The vehicle make, the year (1911) and the photographer's information are written on the back of each photo.

Did the pictures came from a picture archive?

Yes, but to be honest, I don't find it interesting when the subject of questions shifts from identifying the vehicle to simply locating the posted image.
