1903  model year.

No. 93 8 hp engine, 78" wheelbase.
3-speed transmission, heavier frame than 17.

First, a curious image from the 1903 Advance Catalog.

Labeled Model 18, it clearly shows the Model 17 hood.
It also shows the curved tonneau support rails of the Model 18,
    and the outside gearshift lever of the 3-speed transmission.
It also shows single-curved front fender tips, unlike either the Model 17 or final Model 18 catalog images.

Note that this cut is made from a different view (and car) than the first one.
Slightly different viewing angle, two levers, different headlight.

Not quite when the car was new, this photo is on a postcard with a Dec 25, 1908 postmark.
This car was used as a photographic studio prop in St. Louis through the 1920s.
Note that the two levers, headlight, and sidelights match the color catalog image, but the front fenders have simple forward ends..
