    It's a CADILLAC and I'd guess the year to be around 1914. Each cylinder was seperate and had a copper water jacket around it. That is what was called platform rear suspention, two side springs that connect to to one cross spring in the rear. Bob

    That entire car is incredible. No wonder Cadillac had such a great reputation for quality and innovation all through the 20's, 30's and 40's.....and beyond.

    By the hair styles and dress I'm going to guess the photo was taken around 37, maybe up to the early 40s.

    Damn....something I could have answered for once....only for the pots in a row under the hood. Just watched a bit on TV about 'em. Caddy baby. Crazy to think the fenders, hood, back half, and windshield were already gone. It was a very cool car, in its day. Guess cool enough to turn into a tractor. Sheeez.
