Re: Ready for the parade.
For those not familiar with them? Pacific Auto Rentals was an early company renting cars to the movie making industry. Most film makers did not want to keep and maintain a bunch of cars and were happy to pay a few dollars to use old cars for a few days.
The 1915/'16 Ford runabout is interesting. No sidelamps, and extra louvers in the hood.

Re: Ready for the parade.
It looks like Pacific Auto Rentals did a lot of modifications on cars to keep them on the road.
The rumble seat on this car looks like a Model S roadster and the handles on the back of the seat are visible.
However, the body base looks more like a Model N or R. There is no cowl like the Model S roadster.
And the fenders are nothing like Model N, R or S!
Hmmm...
?
