Note from Ed Hayes of Hemmings Magazine: I did some research on the Warren automobile / Fisk Tire promotional tour. From your photos, the car appears to be a Warren tourer model; the "30" on the front grille may refer to its 30-horsepower engine. Since the banner on the side of the car notes that the engine was fired up on January 20, 1912, the car is likely a 1911 or 1912 model, depending on when, during the year, that new models were released. As the Wolverine model was not released until 1913, that particular connection does not appear to be valid. I quote from "The Beaulieu Encyclopedia of the Automobile, Vol. 3 P-Z", Nick Geogano, Editor-in-Chief, published in 2000 by the Stationery Office, Suffolk, Great Britain, which is -- at least by the editorial folks at Hemmings -- a highly respected source of such automotive esoteria: "Warren Motor Car Co., Detroit, Michigan. Sometimes known as the Warren-Detroit, this was a conventional car which used 4-cylinder engines for most of its life. In its first season, 1911, it was offered with a 30hp engine and no fewer than eight body styles on a single wheelbase. 1912 saw three wheelbases but fewer styles, only a tourer and a roadster. The 1913 models carried colourful names such as Wolverine, a 35hp on a 112in (2843mm) wheelbase, Pilgrim 40hp on a 116in (2944mm) wheelbase, and the Resolute which had a 50hp 6-cylinder engine on a 130in (3299mm) wheelbase. One of the engineers, W.H. Radford, later designed the Pilgrim and Balboa cars."
