I have a picture of my grandfather, circa 1915, driving a car. I am trying to determine the make/model to enhance my family genealogy website. Any help would be appreciated.
The picture is posted here:

I can't tell you the make / model but it is a race car. magnify the picture and there is a number 8 painted on front of the radiator.

The engine compartment is much larger than a model T, and the radiator top appears to be rounded, which the Ford is not.

It appears to be a model 'T' Ford with a home made chassis. In the old Dykes automotive manual it tells you how to change over the body from one style to another. The wheels also look like Ford. Good luck in your genealogy. Hope this helps

That's not a model T radiator or hood. The running gear and front end look a lot more like a Chevy truck from that period.

That's a model A.
The third photo from the left in the second row is a model T. Note the octagonal shape of the top of the radiator. Note how small the engine compartment is. Note also that the later year cars which have more rounded radiator tops have wire wheels, not spoked.
The difference in the engine compartment size of the T and that of the image posted is very visible if you compare that image to the 1922 Martin Johnson car in this gallery (the third one down).
