Is it a production car or a one off modified by the owner?

W.L.Smith is the name of the man, not the name of the car.

Argo Speedster 1915 Jackson, Michigan, USA

The red and white 1915 Argo Speedster with Walter L. Smith (middle initial is not "F" as the news photo has it), the 22-year old owner of the 'Smith Motor Sales Company', at the wheel.
