It looks like a 1912 roadster made into a speedster.

That is a neat one Herb I!
I think you are right. It appears to be a 1912 open roadster with the seat base removed, and maybe the standard seat remounted low and tilted back, firewall modified with cowl added, steering lowered, and no tool box. Makes a darn nice speed car!
