this maybe? not an exact match, but could be a starting place.  1913 Packard.   your pic could still be a Packard but differences could be attributed to different coach builders or changes in later years.







1913 Packard bus, Salt Lake City, Utah

Good Guess, but it's not a Packard.
The grill and hood are not the same and the Packard is a chain drive.

Hint #2: K _ _ _ Motor Car Co.

Stage is one of those guys who re-build and re-furbish once thought hopeless historic vehicles who when we as men go to car shows we stand in amazement at what looks today---just as it appeared decades ago...and think....

"That *(expletive deleted), how come I can't do that!"
