Need to ID this car

[9.3]

Hi all, from a family photo album, we would like to ID this car if possible. Any ideas, or any idea of a good place to post and ask?

I'd say almost certainly American. The clue would be in the unusual shape of the radiator, which will have been replicated in their road cars.

Try Google Images for American race cars of about 1906/08, or even Google the entry list for the Vanderbilt Cup races. The webpage contains images of many of the cars which competed. In the background there appears to be something like a Ford Model T speedster, so I don't think this is a top-line racing event.

PS a great website is Jalopy Journal, run by the HAMB.

PS Could be a Pope-Hartford.
