This one has a lot of detail.
What are the spots around the tire?

I don't know about the spots. But it seems the vehicle on the left has solid tires.

Yep, looks like a solid tire. Anybody recognize the big car?

I think the big car is a 1912 Thomas Flyer.

The spots on the tire are actually holes that go part-way through the tire. I think the opposite side also has holes in between. These holes give some cushion effect to the ride of the solid rubber tires. Happy T'ing. Bob

I would guess Cadillac for the big car.

The big car isn't a Cadillac. They had electric lights starting in 1912 & a flat wood firewall. It could be a Locomobile...not sure. It appears to be a six cylinder due to the hood lenght. With the gas lights and front doors, it's probably a 1912 "whatever".

Well, except for the rolled bead along the side panels of the car, it could very well be a Thomas Flyer from 1912
