Pre-1910 U.S. marque?

[Wendax]

Yes

[4popoid]

1909 Peerless Model 19 Touring.

[Wendax]

1909 is correct, Peerless is not.

[Arunas]

Fal-Car ??

[Wendax]

No

[4popoid]

Made in Michigan, 1909 Chalmers-Detroit "Forty" touring car.

[Wendax]

Not from Michigan, therefore not a Chalmers-Detroit

[Arunas]

Was the building cars post 1914?

[4popoid]

Staying in the U.S. mid-west, but moving South from Michigan to Ohio, I'll try a: 1909 Stearns 30 HP touring car.

No

Not from Ohio, so not a Stearns

[Paul Jaray]

Alco 40hp Tourer?

[Wendax]

No

[4popoid]

Leaving the mid-west, I'll move on east from Ohio to Pennsylvania and try: 1909 Bergdoll "30" touring car.

[Wendax]

Not Ohio, not Bergdoll

[4popoid]

Bergdoll was from Pennsylvania, not Ohio, but I'll assume that you meant "not PA", as Ohio was already eliminated.  I'll move back to the mid-west and try Indiana.  Is this a 1909 Empire touring car from Indianapolis?

[Wendax]

Sorry, my mistake. Not from Pennsylvania and not from Indiana.

Another better view of the car:

[4popoid]

A better picture was all that was needed, thank you!  The puzzle car is a: 1909 Mora "Light Four" touring car from Newark, New York.

[Wendax]

I knew that was a giveaway.  ;D

A well-earned point for you.
