From what I know it looks like the early style radiator. I think you are referring to the body. The early ones I know of were the tulip-style bodies.

$2,500 in 1906 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $89,993.33 today, an increase of $87,493.33 over 119 years. The dollar had an average inflation rate of 3.06% per year between 1906 and today, producing a cumulative price increase of 3,499.73%.

I presume that is the December 1905 issue of "Country Life."
