Default Looking for some help identifying make & model of this car
My son sent me this picture of an old car and asked me if I could tell him anything about make, model and year, but I have no clue other than it appears to be from the model T era, but not a Ford. Wondering if anyone here can help?

Picture obviously taken when color film was available.

Front parallel leaf springs (and that axle), ought to give someone a clue.

You might get a response by posting on the Model T Forum.

Thank you JimG, that's exactly what I did and a member of the Model T forum "15max" knew what it was. 1915-1917 Maxwell Model 25.

This question is also in the Model T Forum. It has been suggested that this unknown car is a Maxwell Model 25, around 1917.

Another picture of a 1917 Maxwell Tourer. Hope this helps in identifying the mystery car?

I don't know, but I'll talk to my son and ask him to try to find out some details on the history of this car from the family who owned it..
