Family photograph

This picture was rescued from among many found in a box after my father died in 1999.  The people in the car are my father (the little guy with the bonnet-like hat on), his two sisters Priscilla (in the drivers seat) and Helen, my grandmother Claire, and grandfather Eaton.  The other man standing on the far side of the car remains unidentified for certain but could be my grandmothers' brother Edward Gage.  The car remains unidentified as well.  Since my father was born in1906 and appears to be about 4 years old, I make the car to be a 1910 model of whatever it is.  From the looks of it it is brand new.  My brother Dudley recalls this home to be in Winchendon, Massachussetts, where the family lived before moving to Nashua, N.H.  My grandfather owned a business in Nashua called the White Mountain Freezer Company.  The company made ice cream making machines sold throughout the United States principally through hardware stores.

Can anyone identify the car?
