Research (by Myles Twete): This is an interesting car.  It has been noted earlier as a Model 15 yet it is clearly built on a Model 22 chassis and has Model 22 running board and fenders.  However, it does not have Model 22 headlamps, but rather, Model 15 headlamps.  The S/N came from a 3rd party and needs to be verified, but assuming it is correct, this is a later Model 22 and so the headlamps being what they are seem to be a change made later by a restorer.  On the other hand, it could be that this is a Model 15 body that was later mated to a Model 22 chassis.
