Identification of Studebaker

Hello
The following picture is of my grandfather and his brother who bought a car together as they had adjoining farms. They shared the car and my grandfather bought his own car a Model T. I'm not certain if it is a Studebaker or a Buick or ? so I thought I wouild post and have the experts give me their input>?
Thank You,

This looks like a task for Mr. Quinn.

I don't believe it's a Studebaker. No visible radiator cap.

As soon as you find a product you like they will stop making it.

What a great picture! Pretty special to have one like that for sure (no matter what the car is).

I would think it would be before the STUDEBAKER name appeared on gas powered cars. Maybe an EMF?

There are a couple of letters on the hub cap, but I can't read them...DB (Dodge Brothers)?

There's probably also a name on the radiator tank above the license plate. Maybe Leonard can work his photoshop magic.

Looks like Grandma or Aunt________was not too happy about the Roadster, maybe she was hoping for a touring car instead!

I agree with Gary that it is question for Richard Quinn, but I have never seen a Studebaker that looked like that.

I tried to blow up the letters on the hub cap, but I still can't make them out.

It is too early to be a Dodge Brothers car. The Dodge brothers were still making engines for Henry Ford at this time. The absence of doors makes this between 1904-1912. I have seen early Flanders and EMF and Buicks for that matter, and they didn't look like this.

There were so many different manufacturers at that time that it is hard to tell, but it is a neat photo.

Guessing that they also lived in Minnesota, the license plate appears to be consistant with the 1912-1914 license plate.

I agree, it would be 1907-11 thereabouts.
By 1912, cars had electric cowl lights, not gas.

Of course, there were exceptions....
