Looks Packard-ish, but that’s all I’ve got.

Not sure, possibly a late 1910s/early 20s White.

I’m getting deja vu. I’m pretty sure someone else asked about this exact same photo some time ago. I’ll see if I can find that post.

Well damn. OP originally posted about year and a half back: http://oppositelock.kinja.com/since-im-not-the-only-one-asking-1784162579
Google must’ve tweaked their reverse GIS, because its not popping up at all. I still think what kanadanmajava1 posted is the answer: 1916 Oakland Model 38 Speedster.

Is it not the Oakland Speedster?

I’m going to agree. 1915 or 1916 Oakland. The body may be homemade or coachbuilt, from a kit, etc. as was pretty common in those days. But the V radiator and other details match Oakland.
Take this view of a touring car, taken from a near identical angle as the OP’s photo:
Looks the same from the cowl forward.

The windscreen and side vents match
I looked elsewhere because of the wire wheels in his pic

yeah, it was that big v in the radiator, and the big arches on the fenders that narrowed it down... it looks like a speedster, which was basically a bare bones car frame with 2 seats, and a flat deck.... would be fun stuff nowadays......

yeah, those wire wheels are probably some later add on. wires didnt seem to catch on on most cars until the late 20s.....

Well, the angles were close enough that I thought I would try overlaying the images. I think the result is convincing.
