Wow, thanks, Ron.

Well, the radiator is close. This car looks to be quite a bit earlier
that the one I have photographed, and if they made only 36 cars, I'd
agree that the odds are against my photo being of one of them; there is
another Philos in the French Musée National de l'Auto, and it too dates
from 1914, suggesting that their production was all pre-WW I. I think
the car in my photo looks to date from a little later than that. But a
great attempt, and you may be right. How on earth did you dig that up?
