Couple of neat vehicles there. Nice sporty roadster on the right. The last in the group of 3 on the left has me scratching my head. It's got the shortest chassis I've ever seen. And it's kinda tall too.

That's as fine an example as I've ever seen of the effective use of a large format view camera with adjustable planes.

Would the 1st car on the left side be a Baker Electric?

Speedster, Runabout, Torpedo-Roadster, Raceabout?
I admit defeat in my quest to positively identify the rakish automobile
parked at the curb, from my perspective it steals the scene entirely.
I'm looking forward to someone providing some information regarding
the vehicle Marque and Model, "with references to accurately corroborate".

In the meantime, my bet is on it being a 1909-10 Brush Runabout Model C or D.
"Everyman's Car", as per the Brush Runabout Company slogan. The company was located in Detroit at 111 Baltimore Avenue, it also occupied other premises during its tenure in the city. All you could ever want to know concerning this interesting company and its products is linked below.

Being right or wrong in my guess doesn't matter, I've had a very enjoyable couple of hours researching and reading about the car and its marvelous accomplishments. Thank you Shorpy.
