It looks like the whole town turned out for the excitement. The banner at the rear of the car tells the story. It looks like it might be " ... America Tour".
I think the car could be a Oldsmobile. They used those "plow shear" fenders on some models and also that kind of cowl but I can't find a photo that matches with that door line. The hill with a few trees certainly looks like the Sun Valley area.
It's always fun to see these photos.
Thanks
Rich
When did I do that?

Maybe these guys? <https://www.technologyreview.com/2013/0 ... road-trip/> West Newton, Mass to Portland, OR in 1910, driving a 1909 Oldsmobile. The photo would have been taken after the boys and car had put on some hard miles.

I may have spoken too soon. I blew up the photos and compared the cars and although similar, found some differences. For example, the spoke count on the wheels doesn't match. Regardless, it was a nice story!

Thanks for the link Tim. It does support my idea of it being an Olds. It's very similar and perhaps a different trip with a different model.
When did I do that?
