Key Characteristics of the Car

• Fenders and Headlights:The high, sweeping curved fenders and large, round, cowl-mounted headlights are classic markers of the1915–1923 era.
• Wheels:You can see a wooden-spoke \"artillery\" wheel still attached to the front passenger side. These were standard on many popular cars of the time, including theFord Model TandChevrolet 490.
