The first Chevrolet Royal Mails were 1914 models, according to the Kimes & Clark Standard Catalog. But this car has me buffaloed. It's left-hand drive, which is unusual that early, but it's neither a Ford nor a Brush. It looks somewhat like a REO, but I'm not convinced.

What caught my eye is the fact that the car seems to be badly fire damaged and yet the gas tank is intact. Maybe the car itself wasn't the fire source but it was in a building that was burned.
