Hello All,, thank you all so much for solving that mystery for my family. We all loved that photo, but never had any idea what the make was.
Thats my great grandfather filling up the steamer, and my grandmother sitting in the rear seat. They are in the Cambridge/ Boston Massachusetts area. I had seen the little boy in the corner of the shot, but never associated it with a water filling station. I am sure you are all right about filling the water tank in the front, and the tiller type steering rod Very cool info....
thanks so much in particular Japeflakes and Vintman for helping me id the car....I will share your info with my family. Thanks so much, the people of rootschat are the best.......Please everybody stay healthy and stay positive in the crazy world we all share......Bert
