Any of you car guys know what this might be? On the photo it said 1918 Packard. However, Packards have a very distinct grill and this ain't it.

I've searched the net but can't find anything similar to this front grill. Style looks to be more like 1912. I just noticed it is right-hand drive, so it could be European.

Clues: no bumper, hood attaches to the cowl strangely, flat fender above front wheel with a little guard at the very front.

It's American, I think the license plate reads MICH, but the emblem on the radiator is too fuzzy to read.

Well, most of my relatives were from Michigan and this was probably taken in Flint, or Saginaw, but the car could still be foreign.

It doesn't seem to be a model T based on the running board and wheel well. But, it does seem to be from the same age, 1910ish to 1925ish. Note the steering wheel is center or maybe even on the right side.

At first I thot it might be a Willys Overland but it is not as the attached photo is my Dad's 1915 Model 80T Overland. The radiators are all together different. I believe Dad's car is now in a museum in Washington state.

How about a Ford Model F? That was Google's best guess.

i looked at the photo and it reminded me of the early years of my driving old cars. Remember the spark advance on the steering wheel? Wow, those were the days.

Something about the fenders and grill makes me think Willys.

Yes, spark advance on steering wheel. Same as my father's 31 Model A Ford.

The car is right hand driving, the car next to it is left hand driving. The houses in the background are America made, not English or European made. Can anyone read the sign behind the right hand driving car? I would age the picture some time in the middle 1920s.

Based upon the rather unique configuration of the front fenders, the wheels and front suspension and the fact that it is right hand drive, I believe it is a mid 1920's Fiat.

Since the Long Corp in the background manufacutred auto parts perhaps it is waiting for a packard front grill. Just a guess.

Sign in background says Long Manufacturing, which has clutch and radiator products. Here is a 1916 Packard https://glory4cars.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/1916-Packard-Twin-Six-4.jpg. Maybe your '18 was in an accident had the radiator replaced.
