Circa 1916 Elgin Six Touring Car?

[pnegyesi]

not an Elgin, year is about right

[nicanary]

Oakland?

[pnegyesi]

sorry, car is younger than 1916. Not an Oakland - much more obscure

There were scores of American makes at that time, and the bodystyle/radiator were pretty generic. Which means going through Georgano in alphabetic order - at Xmas time! Allen?

Agree completely!  The only thing even slightly unique about it is that it appears to be a little smaller than most touring cars of that period.  I think we could use a hint.   

[pnegyesi]

not an Allen. This was a gigantic dream by a man - in addition to a car company, there was a town built with the same name as the automobile. The town was supposed to cater for the workers, but the whole project folded quickly.

Now this will be very easy

[pnegyesi]

no

Located in the middle of the US?

[4popoid]

How about a 1913 Richmond "Four" (Model R), five passenger touring, manufactured in Richmond, IN?

[pnegyesi]

not a Richmond. The state is not in the middle of the US, it is close to the Canadian border

[4popoid]

OK, let's try a: 1914 Luverne 535, five passenger tourer, manufactured in Luverne, Minnesota.

[pnegyesi]

not a Luverne. The towns you mentioned all existed prior to this car. But the town I have in mind was built because of the car
