Anyone familiar with this postcard? It might just be the only Polo Grounds postcard from this era I haven't got and I cannot find it anywhere. Any ideas?:

This is my first RPPC. I love the action pose, the wide-open scene, the old car in the background, everything about it.
Two questions for the experts: 1) Any idea of the date? 2) Does anyone know what kind of car that is? Thanks in advance.

Bryan, according to a postcard website that stamp area that says 'azo' with 4 triangles dates from 1904-1918. The split back typically means after 1909 (I believe) and the catcher's mitt looks 1909+ too. The car seems like 1915 but I'm just using my instincts there.
I'd say your card is 1914-16. But it could be 1910+ too. Hope this info somehow helps. Peter |

Thanks to Peter and Herb, much appreciated! Model T came to mind but I don't think this one quite matches, there is a spare tire and a few other things that don't look quite right.

Looks like a Model T Ford.

The car is much larger than the Model T touring sedans of the era. I'm no car expert and it's hard to be certain from the pic but it looks a lot like an EMF touring sedan c.1911-1912. The company was renamed Studebaker in 1913. ![]()

Good ole Studebaker...my first car (amazingly) was an Avanti II, which was a spin-off for the best car that Studebaker ever produced, the Avanti.
