Maybe not. Isn’t that a Canadian car?

Windshield indicates that it is a Canadian car. Lower pane is hinged. Canadian slanted could be as early as 1920. Canadian slanted windshield that early could also have a one man top, and two oval rear lites were used on many Canadian tops.
What I want to know is why are the sidelamps mounted at different heights? One is slightly above the cowl bead, the other is slightly below the cowl bead.

Wayne, you are suffering from an optical delusion! :D If you put a straight edge beween the tops of the two lamps you will have a line perfectly parallel to the bottom of the windscreen.

Hmm, what I notice is the glass-cased electric meter on the building behind the car, and the modern sidewalk joints. There's probably more stuff, but that's what jumps out at me.
T'ake care,

The aluminum gutter is another discrepancy. It is obviously meant to be a Candian T as it has an Ontario license plate.

I wonder if the driver is aiming at the man walking behind him or someone else?

Only in the USA do we park cars worth tens of thousands of dollars out in the weather and fill our garages up with worthless junk. :roll:
