I recently acquired this framed and matted 8 x 10 photo and would like help identifying the vehicle. The picture was taken in downtown Milwaukee WI. Someone wrote 1906 on the back.
Thanks!

A lot of cars looked similar in that era.. for example look at a buick 10..
Thos could be a 1910 Packard?

It has a distinctive front end. Odd badge...and headlights appear to be marked?
Thanks for your response. You're right, there are a lot that look similar. Thanks for noticing the detail.
I took it out of the frame and someone wrote 1906 on the back; not sure if that represents the year. I've added a back photo.

It's a Buick model 10 I believe
Thanks for the comment. The Buick 10 is probably as close as I'm going to get.
Unless someone knows of a better example I'll be marking it "mystery solved."
While I agree this picture has similar features to a Buick 10 with rumble seat..it is not a Buick. The front hood shape on the Buick is more hump shape, while this picture has a flat sided hood. The Buick has a vented hood(side ribs).
A few interesting things i noticed about the picture...the box shape ar the back of the running board...looks similar to a Thomas Flyer. There is lack of a door and seat position, indicating a rumble seat(mother in law seat)..its possible that 2 small kids(in the picture) could sit in a single mother in law seat? The leather hood strap is unusual. The front fender shape is distinctive..similar to ford/Buick. The hood/ grill has a distinctive shape as well. There is no windshield or doors for front passenger..
So I'm still not sure. Very curious to know exactly what vehicle this is.
Here's a picture of a Thomas flyer with the running board and box shape towards the rear of the running board I was referring to..

Thanks for the in depth evaluation. The hood strap might help with the ID. Interesting horn, too.
