I've noticed a great many of these older pictures show cars with chains on the rear tires.

I bet those smooth tires with relatively little weight on them spun and slipped all over the place - hence the chains. Plus with the roads mostly being pretty poor a driver was probably doing some pretty serious 'off-roading' compared to what we have now.

Notice the vertical horn bulb position on that shiny new looking 1913 touring.

The passenger in the first photo looks like, and may have been, William Jennings Bryan.

Well, of course I have no way to prove it, but I still think the guy in the hat looks like the guy in the photo above; especially the nose!

The photo of the '13 is one of the finest I've ever seen of a '13. Thanks for posting it Jay. For those who are into the details, note the front lip on the RF fender. It is correct in that it has a lip. Great photo!
