This photo was taken in 1912. I sure could use some help in identifying the make/model of the car

If you are having trouble posting a photo, it has to be uploaded to a site that actually "hosts" the photo for you, such a photobucket.com. Then you post a link to the photo's address on that site.
 
AFter you post the link, you can select the whole link, and click on the IMG button below the post window and the proper HTML marks make it show up automatically when the post opens for one of us to read it.

Let me try this again. I placed the photo on one of my sites then linked to it. It appeared fine in the review

Definitely a Ford Model T, in looking at the details, maybe a 1910 model.

Thanks fintail - I also thought that and googled model T pictures. One of the things I noticed was the front support for the windshield for model Ts seemed to be all straight. This one has a slight curve in it. Do you know if any model Ts had this curve?

That is probably something done by the owner - I noticed the curved supports too. Perhaps these are aftermarket items - Model Ts had a huge amount of available accessories, or maybe were just bent, as cars had a harsh life then.
 
The fenders and radiator shell appear to be definite Model T to me, and the horizontal line on the rear door is only through the 1910 model - rear door from 1911 onward was smooth. If you notice, the car also lacks an actual front door beside the spare tire - the car appears to have an accessory leather/treated cloth cover (which dates it pre-1912).
