I have to admit that I'm partway stumped. I think it's the wheels and tires that have me confused. I'm wanting to initially say that it is between 1909 and 1914. The problem with cars of that era is that some mfgs were a few years behind others so ones 14 model could look like anothers 08. And then it seems that some of the high end model mfgs produced economy models that appeared several years older looking to begin with. I not throwing in the towel , it's those wheels and tires that look wrong. Can you post a photo of another car, same year make and model?

Yeah, right! I couldn't even see that I my Iphone. Now that I am on my laptop I can see that there is an insignia there but thats it. What that does is elimates some makes, but there were hundreds during that time period. The brass was only used for a certain time period so that narrows it down for the years but not necessarily the make. There were alot of mfg that built the running chassis and then sent it to a body builder and that why so many looked the same. I have some reference books to look through I might have an idea.

The Mitchell was built from 1903 to 1923. I think that it is a 1908 to 1910 Mitchell roadster.

Thanks. Those 100 year old cars are before my time. They are very difficult. For example in 1912 Jackson made 10 different models. I think the one you submitted was a roadster 25. I only had references for the 19II so I went down a year when I should have gone up a year. Hmmm... anything before the twentys suck.

Well, this one should be fairly easy and put the fun back in the challenge.
