Might even be a "Two Person" speedster... The average person was smaller back then...
Adam, I think you may be right. Now that I look closer on the second photo the body does flare out towards the passenger seating.
I would like to have the old beast to the left in the second photo.
Wonder what it was???

Larry B,
That is what I was thinking! Unfortunately, I don't remember which of the few sites I watch it was. But there was a "what is it" question for a car with a nearly identical radiator, There were several opinions offered, most of them wrong (some WAY wrong). But maybe a clue to this one. Interesting that it is a left hand drive, given the over-all look to the car I would halfway expect it to have been right hand drive. It must be about 1914.
Great speedster! THAT one I like!
Thank you Jay for all the photos and other wonderful stuff you post!
Drive carefully, and enjoy, W2
Re, car on left---NEW BARN FIND.??
On the left am thinking 1914-16 Chevrolet Baby Grand.
Barn find? Looks like the barn is now on the ground, hence it has been found.
I was thinking Chevrolet also due to the emblem on the radiator.
If it is a Chevrolet, at least it is where it belongs, the trash pile. (Hey! Someone had to say it?)
Still great photos!

I would say it's a 2-passenger racer for sure. My 2-passenger Faultless body is actually quite roomy for a race car (I lost 54 pounds since June 1st)and yet it too looks pretty narrow in a 'straight on' photo.
In Jay's 2nd picture, you can see the flare for a double wide seat on the left side (left from our view).

Found another view.
Erich, Thanks for the full side shot!
The T on the right in the "head on" speedster photo looks like a 1909 or 10 Torpedo Roadster...hehehehehhe !!!!
1914 Brand "X" Baby Grand
That 1914 Chevrolet is a nice looking car.
The '14 Baby Grand posted by Wayne M has a totally different cowl than the one near the race car. The difference between the two cars could be only a matter of a month or two. Out of curiosity, I looked in my Kimes & Clark book. The flat wooden dash was an early '14 feature replaced mid-year by the smoother cowl. Much like Studebaker at the time, there was a bit of a step between the hood and cowl for a time, then smoothing out as the models progressed. I would guess the car in Jay's and Erich's photos is a later '15 or maybe even a '16.
I do think it is a Chevrolet (refer to my snide remark earlier). Actually, I would really like to have that car just how it sits there, only at my home.
James S,
Always like to see pictures of your car in progress!
Drive carefully, and enjoy, W2
