Have you ever seen one of these?
Bob, hopefully I have you on this one. As far as I know, there is only one in existence.

Okay, the John Deere implement wheels are there to throw me off aren't they!!
Now I KNOW you're related to Streets, I don't care how much you deny it!!! A one only car, from the brass era?
The carriage lamps, shape of the hood and firewall, and the headlamp stantions would indicate this car is from around 1910, give or take a few years. It's a "high end" car with the large passenger compartment. The grille shell looks something like a Regal (Canadian car) but the fenders don't quite look right. So there you go, of the hundreds of car companies that have existed over the past 100+ years, I really don't know them all.
And despite Streets lies and defamations I'm not really that old either.
But you're right about one thing, he's got more money than anyone.

It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

Maybe I'm related to him in spirit of being a character. Would a vintage photo of the car help? Here's one.

I don't know what kind of car it is, but now I know why they put running boards on the earlier cars. Makes them easier to drive without seats.

Still don't know?
Here, I'll be nicer than Streets and actually tell you all what it is. It's a 5-passenger Model 73 1912 Rambler Gotham Limousine sn28627. Thought to be the only one still in existance. Recently sold at auction for an unknown sum.

With that many pictures to post, I assume your the buyer? or seller?
So what's up with the 'unknown sum'?
If you're the buyer, you think you paid too much having realized the missing headlights will require a time machine of astronomical costs to go and fetch?
You're the seller and now you're as rich as Streets?

No, I'm neither the buyer or the seller. I just saw it for sale a while back and thought it would stump Bob.

I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
