    This car pic was emailed to me from one of the local Historical Society directors. I believe one of the old timers quite a few years ago had identified as ,get this a "1914 Automobile with carbide lights". I my self was thinking a 1908-10 Buick McLaughlin(the pic is in Canada)due to shape of the rad shell and rad cap & square "cowl" lamps, it's the 3 lower window hinges that throw me off. So here it is for all the vintage car i.d.ing guru's. It's not that many of the old timers care (not really any left), but there is a few of us that are just curious.
    Thanks in advance.

    Yep. Looks earlier than this 1912 McLaughlin (cheaper/low tech looking fenders):

    Nice photo, can someone clean it up and make the details a bit cleaner? That looks to be a 1910 era car, that windsheild frame is wood, a not so common accessorie at the time. Hood length looks about right for a 6 cylinder car. Try posting it on the AACA.org website Buick Forum along with the general "What is It" section.
