Hey, what's that? Halfway restoration and now testdriving the bare chassis? Sure not, The Thing is probably brandnew and it either must be a manufacturers test drive. Or a newly sold chassis on its way to a coachbuilder.

Not easy Gary, too many of these pre WWI cars have Mercedes look-a-like radiators so it comes down to details like number of wheel spokes, chassis details and more. But maybe the hardly visible radiator badge is enough for a brass dude out there. Could be a Mercer, Pierce Arrow or similar machinery. Let's wait and see.
