John, it appears that the body is a '14 style body, and the windshield is a '13 type, along with the earlier support rods.

Thats what I see. Wondering if this is normal or not a surprise on an early 14. But of course, all the 13 W/S got used up first. Interesting.

It looks to me that the person driving is a man and most likely the person standing on the right running board is dressed like a man. It could be two families. Each one has a wife and daughters. It is also daylight.

The crossover time between the 1913 style body which ended early due to its inherent weaknesses and the early introduction of the 1914 style produced a lot of '13 style bodies with '14 style windshields as well as 1914 style bodies with 1913 style windshields. I sometimes wonder which they made more of? However I am sure that Ford sold a thousand cars with those crossovers. I don't have a copy of it, however I once even saw a fold forward 1913 style windshield on an apparently new car with the dogleg 1914 style support arms on it!

The cars are flying down the assembly line! Don't have the right part handy? Use what ya got and shove it out the door!
