I don't know which make or model automobile this is - but there is a lot written about the Garford - Studebaker Co
Apparently Studebaker left Garford in 1911 and by 1912 Garford became Willys-Overland  -
This comes from a March 1913 book but it could be a print for a prior year - I leave it to the antique auto afficianado!
The
Elyria, Ohio
Garford Company primarily manufactured Studebaker-Garford automobiles. The company began production in 1904 and ceased production in 1911, having manufactured only 2,481 Studebaker-Garford cars.
,
Garford Company of Elyria, Ohio formerly Federal Mfg Company which began to manufacturer automobile components in 1903.  Ardsley, Gaeth, Cleveland, Royal, Rainier and Studebaker were all ompanies using the Garford chassis.
Studebaker from 1905-1910  used Garford Exclusively for
all chassis components.
In 1913 Willys-Overland  purchased the Garford Company  although Garford trucks were produced until 1935.
This 1912 Garford seven-passenger touring car is the lone survivor, acquired by Harrah's in 1969 and subjected to a three-year restoration.
