User Comments:
• I sent a comment identifying this car in a photo with a fat man next to it (Image Nara 42-001). These appear to be the same car: a 1908 Ford Model N Runabout. Again, this has step plates (no running boards) and no lip on the fenders, 28 x 3 wheels and the water pump under the starting crank handle. The square windows in the side lights indicate late 1907 or 1908. The paint also looks quite glossy so I suspect it is nearly new.
