  Looks like a Ford Model T Touring to me---hard to tell the year exactly with Model Ts but could be anywhere 1914-1920-ish....

  Funny, the body (and those lamps and the windshield) is very much like a 1915-20 or so T, but the hood is not a Model T hood. I also notice it is a different color, maybe an aftermarket or accessory replacement, lots of that for Ts back in the day. The front fender curve also seems off, but could easily be modified.

  It's a 1917 Model T at the earliest, because of that rounded hood. Can't be much newer, with those lamps, I'd think.

  IIRC, those lamps were used until around 1922, but the windshield frame looks short, which I associate with older cars. The bodies on 1915+ models are similar, but this is probably a 1917+ car as mentioned, rather than my minor suspicion of a modified older car. I still don't think that's a T hood though, it's probably aftermarket - they even had kits to disguise Ts. 1917-22 is a safe bet.

  If you look at this 1920 Model T, it looks pretty close to a match but the hood looks flatter on the original photo, and it has only 5 vents. These old cars are tough when the photos don't show the front of the car.
