Is this a 48-SS

Besides reporting on NPR, my sister is involved with the Women’s Suffrage (right to vote) Museum and she sent me some pictures from the late 1910’s and teens.

A lot of the women who were involved were well know and wealthy so I had here send me some pictures with cars.

I thought this car looks like it might be a 1910 48-SS. Can anyone verify? The picture is from 1913.

It is not a Pierce-Arrow.

The car may be a 1909 Velie Model A five passenger touring.

It looks a little 1910 Cadillac like, though the eyelid on the

front fender doesn’t fit and the demountable rims are strange on any

1910 car in this price bracket ($1,600-$1,800). The hubcaps look

Cadillac as they used aluminum with an insert. The headlights look

Gray and Davis. The round piece above the hood former is typical

Cadillac and 110″ Wheelbase looks right ( Same as ’09 Velie). It

would be nice to see more of the car!”
