In that 4th picture the car and man standing between the tracks are taking a chance. Looks like there might be a woman dressed in white between him and the car. Hope that car is running. Can you imagine getting out to crank when a train is coming at you?

Did he take the Presto-O-Lite off the buggy?

In the second photo of the 1914 Touring, driver has a shorter Prest-O-Lite "E" tank on the running board.
The "E" tanks were 30 cubic feet of acetylene vs. the 40 cubic foot "B" tanks Ford would supply.
About 3 inches shorter but the same 6" diameter and still met the "1/7th draw down" for 3/4" burners.

Prest-O-Lite seems to have marketed the "E" tanks toward the equestrian trade per an add clip from
The Acetylene Journal 1904/1905. I suspect the "E" was for equestrian but have never seen it written as such.

Thank you for the photographs!

First photo appears to be a 1914 touring car, with after-market electric headlamps and Livingston radiator.
Wonderful pictures! Thank you.
