One of those on the left might be a NRS Ford.

Herb,

I think one on the right is :-)

It looks like possibly a Stanley (rounded front?) on the far right, then what looks like a Model R or S Ford (looks like it has running boards).

Thanks for posting,

Rob

Herb,

Thanks for posting the photo.

The image was reversed (see writing on the signs). Below the image has been flipped and the cars are now RHD (there were no left hand drive NRS&SR Fords that I know of.)



And the half of the photo with the Ford:



Clear shape of the NRS&SR radiator with the round water pump in the lower portion and the crank held up. Clearly NOT an SR as they had the rounded metal cowl. The paint scheme of light colored chassis and dark body & fenders was initially standard on the Model S Runabouts. But the late 1908 photo of the Model S Roadsters in the Piquette run up yard show that the Model N Runabout was also offered that way. I believe the car has the rounded rear Fenders rather than the Model N more straight/upturned. And I think I see a running board --- but we need better resolution (or eyesight) to see that for sure. Base on all of that clearly an N,R,or S Runabout. I believe most likely an S Runabout although if it has step plates it would be the N Runabout or if it had the rounded trunk (which we cannot see, it would be the Model R Runabout).

The car to the right appears to be a 1907 plus or minus a year or so Cadillac because it has the typical metal dash of the early Cadillac.



Above is a 1906ish Cadillac and below is a 1905 Model C Ford. While the shape of the hood is similar to the Model C Ford the dash on the Cadillac is metal with a curved over section and is rectangular in shape rather than flat wood and arched shape on top that the Model C Ford has.

Ditto what Rob said -- he is faster at typing.

And yes I mean the other right -- i.e. to the left of the Ford is the Cadillac and to the right appears to be the Stanley Steamer when you look at the correct image rather than the original reversed image. I'm going to go get a cup of coffee.

Respectfully submitted,

So if you flip the photo over for right hand drive then if you turn it upside down would it be a down under photo?
