Can you identify this car?

Can anyone identify this car? Also, is there a way to find out who owned
the car (or other information) by the license plate? It has a Pennsylvania
license plate that appears to be from 1920 (according to information at:
http://bellsouthpwp.net/r/k/rkretsch....htm#pass06-09 )

From other discussions I've had, people have said that it is not a Dodge,
Oldsmobile, Star, Durant, Gray Dort, or Elgin Motor Car.


Thanks.

I can't say about the car, but that gentleman standing next to the car
must have got his tie caught in the crank.

That's a Motometer. Early cars didn't have temperature gauges, and the
Motometer contains a thermometer to give a reading of the coolant
temperature inside the radiator. Some manufacturers offered them as options,
and others were bought aftermarket and added by the car owners, so they
really don't help much with identification.

Thanks for the clarification.
