I immediately guessed it was a Nash, and google confirmed it, so I win my first contest. I was not aware, however, that they made a "standing room only" model.

Can anyone see how the prop is driven?

I wonder if it is a "pusher" and the prop shaft runs off the crank which appears to be about the right level.

I agree the prop can be seen just behind the motor, I guess there must be a shaft drive as there is a tube that appears to run up to the prop. All in all the whole thing looks pretty flimsy.
