REO/Dodge Brothers puzzle

Hi! I believe this vehicle has been misidentified as a 1914 Reo. The serial number, 77886, is for a 1916 Reo.

Helping to confirm this is the fact that the highest serial number for a 1914 Reo is 64000, and that serial number does not appear in the 1914 California registration list (if it was originally sold in California). The 1914 California license plate shown originally belonged on a Buick touring car registered to a Samuel Leask, of Santa Cruz, California. Provided the chassis has not been cut down this can also be confirmed by the fact that a 1914 REO should have a wheelbase of 112 inches.

The serial number does appear in the 1916 California registration list. It was registered to Charles M. Nissen of Livermore, California as a Reo Touring car. It had California license plate number 41168 at the time. The wheelbase, if not cut down, should be 115 inches. Nissen kept this car into at least 1921.

Charles Magnus Nissen (photo), was born on 22 Oct 1874 and he died on 7 Feb 1945. From 1910 he was a hay and grain merchant establishing and operating the Independent Warehouse Company. Because of ill health he then pursued farming for the rest of his life. At the time of his death he had the largest farm holdings in the Livermore Valley of California.

I found a reference to the Bowchies Breakdown Tour in the Horseless Carriage Gazette of May-June 1969. It was sponsored by the Manitoba Classic & Antique Auto Club in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.
