Trask Bros. Auto stage. Photo is dated 1919. Taken in Hill City, Idaho (about half way on the route).

1915 or later Cadillac.

An expert will need to pinpoint the year.

Good job Erik. I'm no expert and I can't find my Cadillac book. From ones on the net it looks like the bead in the fenders went away in 1917 but with the different models they made some may have had them later. I did find a picture of a Cadillac with a Buick radiator emblem so I'm not going to jump to any conclusions.
I do think the license plate is either a 1919 or 1920 IDA.
These pictures are always intriguing and leave me curious about the circumstances.
Thanks
Rich
P.S, Hill City is where I found my '09 or '10 hood former in a dump with virtually no other traces of model Ts. :)
When did I do that?

With the curve at the bottom of the windshield frame, it is a 1916.

Thanks Dan. I'm glad to learn that.

Two more news clipping that might be interesting. The left one mentions looking forward to 1920 and Large Cadillac cars. The second offers "12-passenger Cadillac". Apparently more than just Jump seats.
