I found two photos circa 1913 when checking out my grandfather's photo albums.

I think this is possibly a Buick, and the license plate appears to be a 1913...

I am not at all sure of the manufacturer of this photo...
 
There are places you can post the pics that might be better equipped than we are to identify these cars. This is one https://www.svvs.org/help42.shtml

Not suggesting we can't do it but it is not an era we really spend a lot of time in.

On the other hand, I suspect the All terrain vehicle in the second picture might be a little harder to pin down. :smile:
 
The sleigh could be a Studebaker, but is more likely from a regional builder. I don't fret too much about what they are, but I love seeing pics like that. Thanks for sharing.
 
I have a couple of cast iron steps that have nice "Studebaker" in script on the tread. they are about all that is left of the carriage that used to be at my grandfathers farm. the rest of it is in a melting pile in the weeds, practically undecernable from a pile of rotten boards and a few metal hoops and brackets.
