Thanks Vince, I did not know that Auto Car was a brand name. Learned something new today.

it is a 1907 'Mail Sorter' brass-era vehicle, they actually sorted mail in it.
There is a pictorial 'flip book' history of US mail vehicles here (includes another image of the same Mail Sorter).

Autocar has been around since 1897 and still exists today.
They built the very first truck in the US and are still building specialty trucks today.
They also invented porcelain spark plugs and the first left-side drive vehicles, among other things.....prior vehicles were center-driven.

I happened to find this classic old postcard at an antiques shop in Brookings, South Dakota, USA showing an old mail truck from around 1913 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA. They called this old truck an "Auto Car."
