For auto industry context, see www.nytimes.com/1986/01/26/automobiles/some-milestones-of... 1916 saw the Federal Road Aid act, providing states with highway funds. Durant was in the news a lot in early 1916 as stockholders and management of Chevrolet and General Motors tussled for control. In June 1916, he was elected president of General Motors. See NYT of June 2, 1916 select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F00A14F63D5F1373... "DURANT SUCCEEDS NASH.; Head of Chevrolet Co. Elected President of General Motors."

Judging from the radiator shape, front axle, steering wheel, and other details, my best guess it's a Ford Model T chassis . Note two-wheel brakes. There's no real safety equipment other than the leather helmet and goggles. Where can I buy one of these cars now??? ;-O
