A 1909 'Selfie'
Ace Cenek tells: "Two photos of a 1904 Cadillac Model B I found yesterday on a postcard at a flea market. I believe this is a 'selfie' because the postcard is addressed to himself with no other writing on the back other than his address (JC Roberts, W. Elkton, Ohio). The Cadillac Model B was made from 1904 to 1905, but, from everything I have found online, it seems to only have had this radiator and light configuration for 1904. The license plate is a 1909 Ohio issue (note that numbers below 10650 were issued in 1908, and this license plate was used for both 1908 and 1909).
I believe one of the gentlemen in the car is Mr. Jessie C. Roberts and one of the passengers is his wife Ada. Attached to the tree in the background is a sign for his shop, J.C. Roberts General Merchandise in West Elkton, Ohio." (editor: please also note all other text in the background!)
"This is a village of about 200 people about 25 miles southwest of Dayton, Ohio. Mr. Roberts lived from 1870 - 1952 and, in addition to his store, he was the village postmaster from June 1902 - March 1915. U.S. Census data confirms he owned a general store. I also found that he issued merchant trade tokens."

It was taken by a professional photographer and printed on post card stock. They are called "RPPs" (for Real Picture Post Card) and, like the Carte de visite 20 or 30 years earlier, were immensely popular at the turn of the century perhaps through WWI. There are tens, if not hundreds of thousands of them. It was commonplace for soldiers to have them made, sending home their picture in uniform (I have one of my great-uncle in WWI). In any case, RPPs are a great source of original photography because they are real photographic prints of what were usually very good photographs.

It's definitely a 1904, it was the only year the front looked like that. An '03 had a slanted radiator with no bonnet and the '05 and on cars had a 'normal' radiator with a surround and a fake bonnet. The engine was also located under the seat until they introduced the 4-cyl engine in c1908-09.
