Looks like a c:a 1920 touring with a front fender brace and Hassler shocks. White sides on the tires as usual for the period. May have been two families, two sisters? - with four kids each? One of the husbands may have been behind the camera.
I wonder what the pennant said? Maybe "Redding"? Since the picture is from the northeast, maybe it's Redding, CT?
By Dave Wells, Hamilton Ontario on Thursday, January 14, 2016 - 07:28 am:It has the double rear windows yet still has the early windshield. Would that be late '22?
By Roger Karlsson, southern Sweden on Thursday, January 14, 2016 - 07:36 am:But the body looks like a pre '21 with a separate quarter panel in the rear?
By Vince M on Thursday, January 14, 2016 - 08:25 am:Top looks much newer than the car. Could be a replacement.

By Dave Wells, Hamilton Ontario on Thursday, January 14, 2016 - 09:10 am:I think you guys are right. With all those kids, one of them probably did something to the original top. I would imagine that if someone brought their car back to the dealer for a new top in 1924, that is what they would get. Most owners would not be jumping up and down, demanding a correct, triple window top. I would, which is probably why I was not born in those days.
By john kuehn on Thursday, January 14, 2016 - 09:38 am:It looks like the right rear fender already has the usual 'sitting on the fender to much' look.
I wonder what the hood would have looked like after the boys got off of it.
A nice pic from the era of friends and family which is nice to see.

By John Doolittle on Thursday, January 14, 2016 - 06:14 pm:If you haven't done it, click on the Shorpy link attached by Dane Hawley, then click on the photo presented and you will see a very clear enlargement.
What is the bracket looking device on the rear axle where the spring attaches? It does not look like any perch that I have seen.
Today's digital cameras have nothing on the glass negative cameras back in the 20's. To me, this is a truly amazing photograph.
By Steve Tomaso - Longbranch,WA on Thursday, January 14, 2016 - 06:56 pm:Accessory Hassler shocks !
By Henry Petrino in Modesto, CA on Thursday, January 14, 2016 - 07:06 pm:Steve's right. Hassles on the front too. It's amazing how clear the photo is.
By Henry Petrino in Modesto, CA on Thursday, January 14, 2016 - 07:07 pm:Hasslers, darn typing with one finger....
