Ormer Locklear is the first man credited with bringing wing walking to the forefront of American aviation and air shows. He joined the US Army Air Service in the fall of 1917, just prior to his 26th birthday, and was stationed at Barron Field, Texas. While there are a variety of reasons given for Lt. Ormer Locklear's first walk out on the wing in 1918, the New York Times reports in an August 4, 1920 article that he had originally begun wing walking because, he conceived the idea that it would be possible to mount machine guns on the wings of a plane. Army officers said it would be impossible to maneuver with a man’s weight on the extreme edge of the wings, and some of his first “stunts” were done to demonstrate that a plane so weighted could be maneuvered. According to the US Centennial of Flight Commission, although Locklear could have been court-martialed for such antics, his commanding officer encouraged him, instead, to perform more "stunts" because they boosted his colleagues' moral, and their confidence in the soundness of their Jenny biplanes, which were suffering a rash of accidents at the time.
In short, the early USAF saw wing walking as a fantastic and successful recruiting technique! The art of wing walking soon took off as other pilots who watched Locklear started developing their own stunts. Lt. Locklear was honorably discharged in the spring of 1919 and chose to become a barnstormer by profession. Established as the “King of the Wing Walkers,” America honored him during “Locklear Days” at various county fairs. He quickly became an international star. Perfecting handstands, hanging stunts, and many other skills on the wings of his Jenny biplane, Locklear truly laid the foundation on which wing walking still rests. Additionally, Locklear was the first person to transfer from one plane to another in flight.

It is a Ford T - check the steering wheel. It looks to have a vertical windshield so is no later than 1922. I guess the car was not very old when the picture was taken.
