Think I've found it!
The 7th photo, the building on the right side, about halfway down the street, has 2 small towers on it. This is at 818 Washington St. now, on Google Street view, Detroit Township, Minnesota. It has a sign in front of it now as a "Pub and Eatery". The 2 buildings to the RIGHT of the building with the 2 small towers also match up. (Closer to the foreground) But the building after that (closest to the foreground except for the small narrow white building) has obviously been demolished and replaced with a new building.

Also, if you then rotate 180 degrees in street view, while at 818 Washington, you can see the building directly across the street from the building with the 2 small towers. It matches from the end stones on the upper roof decoration.

Sad that the odd but beautiful curved stone building on the left corner is gone. That must have been a showplace in it's day.

Thank you for posting these pics, Tom!

In the first photo, it's not the same boys or car, but the same expression and pose. Probably similar excitement when being photographed in an Automobile back then. As always, thanks for posting these.

I noticed that the car in the third picture has More-lite lenses in the headlights.

Number 1. Not likely! Too short to shift or stop. Number 3 Hot seat! After market headlight lenses, Shock Absorbers, Speedometer. Number 15 Eucalyptus Trees. Could be California or Australia, but looks like Steering wheels are on the left.

9th from the bottom in the snow is, I’m guessing a ‘14 touring. Sure has paid for itself. Does it even have headlamp lens and reflectors? And is it late ‘14 with one bill front fender and the other narrow bill. Possible transition into 1915 ? Quite the food for thought, eh ? Thank you Tom

Something I noticed – not a single car in this batch of pictures has a rear view mirror! Both of my Ts have three mirrors and I wouldn't feel comfortable without them.

Hudson, People back in the day had shorter lifespans! Younger people have more flexibility in the neck! And less likely to have someone come rushing up in the blind spot when you are changing lanes in those days. I also have mirrors on windshield and the driver's side. Very seldom drive in any lane but the slow lane, so I don't have them on the right, but it could be a good idea to get some.

I've often seen people in old movies look out the driver's window backward to check traffic before pulling out. Others just went without looking at all. Could be just Hollywood or it might reflect a certain attitude that it was the other driver's responsibility to look out for traffic suddenly jumping away from the curb.

That’s how I was taught; right arm over the passenger seat back, twist body while turning head to see clearly out the back window when backing up.
