This photo was supposedly taken in 1910.
The car looks similar to the pre T Fords but I don’t think it is but sort of similar to the style from that era.

A REO I believe.

Re: 1910 car identification
Jerry is absolutely correct- it’s a REO - single cylinder - 1908-09. It could be a 1910 but that’s unlikely since it has a Michigan prestate license number painted on the front. Michigan issued plates in 1910.

Re: 1910 car identification
The Michigan website said the pic was taken in 1910. Those of you that really know the very early cars can tell if it’s a 1910. I guess it was a new car to this family in front of their house. But I’m guessing if it’s their house! It does look like it’s pretty new.
I didn’t think it was a Ford auto for sure because of the front appearance of the car. To me this Reo might have been higher priced than a Ford.

Re: 1910 car identification
It is definitely a REO but it is a 1905 or 1906 model.

Re: 1910 car identification
I’m with Peter… It’s a 1907 +- Model B REO. I know because I restored a ‘07 that looks just like it. Its currently being displayed at the New Braunfels Conservation Society. Except; my research revealed it should have bale handled front kerosene lamps. Couldn’t find any (Dietz Dainty) so I used large E&J 3 tiered round flared front most notably supplied on EMFs.

Re: 1910 car identification
I'd be willing to bet it's their house. That hard to read sign sure looks like it says "Dr. Jas (maybe) so-n-so"...John kuehn wrote: ↑Sun Oct 15, 2023 9:45 pmThe Michigan website said the pic was taken in 1910.

They look to be pretty well off, probably practices in the back of the house somewhere. What a gorgeous house. Nice REO also!

Re: 1910 car identification
Nope…. Come to think of it - my ‘07 had wood fenders made by Vic Groah and no running boards.

From a 1906 Reo sale book.

When did I do that?
