However, this will be very unlikely as less than 1,000 Moores were sold, and the company was headed first in Minneapolis and later Danville while the film was filmed in California.

I am still not 100% sure, but this is by far the closest ID I got: http://www.remarkablecars.com/photos/1916-auburn-chummy-07200.jpg http://www.remarkablecars.com/photos/1916-auburn-chummy-07198.jpg There are very little details both in the thumb and on the main pic, but from what is visible it is the closest match I have found so far. The rear window in the film was a rectangular design while the Auburn has a double porthole, but in 103 years that can easily be changed. -- Last edit: 2019-01-10 17:19:40
