The man standing is my grandfather. Can anyone identify the automobile?

John,

If you don't get an answer here try the "What is it?" Forum over on the AACA Site. A broader extended knowledge base there, and some seem to live for challenges like this. Good luck!

Can't help with ID either but see some things were the same all over. You didn't say if this was taken in Australia, but my grandmother told stores of early travel in New Mexico and Nevada. The stops to fix a flat every time they hit an extra rough spot in the road, any well or stream to fill the radiator and a run for any bush handy when they did stop drew much laughter from a youngster.

Do you think it was a posed photo or did they really dress up in suit, tie, white shirt and derby to fix a flat?

From aaca.org it appears to be a 1909 Buick Model F.

No, it wasn't posed. It was an "outing" or "date" to go somewhere.

He had the first "pocket Kodak" in the area and he took lots and lots of pictures from around that time. I still have the camera.
