What a wonderful picture! I love low angle and clarity. Just right for Fall.

Nice! 1911, I love it!
It has the wider 1911 rear fender (compared to 1910) with the forward splash guard, and appears to be mid to late 1911 with the tapered rear axles that came out in mid 1911 (shorter hub, cap doesn't stick out as far as the straight axles did). No front doors of course says pre1912.

Great photo!
Reminds me of another one that may be a little earlier 1911.
Similar angle with E&J lamps.
This one needs some air but doesn't need a tire boot yet....
Thank you Jay!

Both pictures show the license plate under the windshield. We’re there any placement rules/laws back then?
