The picture I posted is of a 1921 Model ''20'' W-K. I think I originally found that picture in an old Antique Automobile Club of America ad. Then I found this follow-up article with what appears to be the same car with the same aftermarket ''California'' removable hard top.
By the early 1920's, open cars like your touring and roadsters were starting to fall out of favour and folks started buying enclosed coupes and sedans. The top on the car pictured here was a way to kinda get the benefits of both styles- a hardtop for the winter, and when removed, a convertible for the summer time.

To be fair, ''Bob-NY'' got it right before I did, its just that his picture is just a tad out of focus so some of those finer details are a bit obscured, but its basically the same car with an upscale nickel-plated radiator shell and headlights.

The colony remained far from self-supporting and it was not until the early 1800's that things started to improve.
