Dane,

Once the person who takes suggested changes/corrections returns -- one of us should recommend changing 1917 to 1916. It is clearly the 1915-16 style body, equal length windshield hinges etc. and the painted rather than brass headlamp rims and side lamp rims would make it more likely to be a 1916 (although a late 1915 would also likely have had the black paints lamp rims.)

Note what might be a fender brace added to the right side of the car bolted to the bolt holding the top of the cowl/firewall to the body.

Thanks for posting the photo!

Respectfully submitted,

Hap l9l5 cut off

If the young fellow in the picture is 3 or 4 years old there is a possibility that he is still alive at 94 or 95 years old.
