Trying to identify year of car in old family photograph

fpig

I am researching my family and I have a tin-type photo of my family in this old car. Knowing the year and make of the car would help me tremendously! Thanks

That looks like a 1903 Pierce-Stanhope car, one of the first made by what became Pierce Arrow. Here's a photo, the configuration looks correct:

I've darkened the overall photo to see what's underneath between the rear wheels.

I can't see @texases's photo but I was able to grab a screen shot from the URL (and not to be outdone by @imidazol97, I flipped it. )

Thanks, @stever - google "1903 Pierce Stanhope" and look at images, looks like a match.

I'm having trouble pinning down the steering tiller. They seem to be all over the place.

Awesome guys! Thanks texases and stever!

Nice work, texases. So many detail items (proportion, shape of front guard/footrest, angle of engine cover, body line between seat and engine, seat rails) appear right, I think you are likely correct.
