chassis 106 engine 1536 model (Type B) body Solid Seat Runabout |
image source - Antique Automobile, Nov-Dec 1959 Dan Feuer restored this car as early as 1956, when he took it to the VMCCA National Meet.
He drove it a lot, taking it on the 1958 Glidden Tour, and on the 1959 Glidden, when this picture was taken, and to more steam meets. He even got a few seconds of exposure in the 1961 automobile documentary Merrily We Roll Along. Some time after the mid '70s, he sold the car and today it is in Germany. |

3714 engine model H5 body Gent | image source - Antique Automobile, Sep-Oct 1959 During a late-1950s Glidden tour, Carl Amsley got a ride with Tom Marshall in a Stanley.
He was immediately hooked, and located this Model H5 near his home, complete except for the seat. Carl was in the construction business, and a skilled woodworker, so he set about building it for himself. The H5 seat has some subtly complex curvature, and the seat on this car was finished with a back that was straight. It didn't take long to figure that one out. He went on to become the most prolific builder of new Stanley bodies since Currier and Cameron, the Stanley brothers' original suppliers. Along the way, he became an accomplished Stanley technician, buying, selling, restoring, and fabricating more cars than any one persoin in history. Here he is at the AACA Spring Meet of 1959, winning an AACA National First Prize in the car that started it all. |

4711 engine model E2 body Roadster | image source - eBay In the early 1950s, Harrison Way Waber purchased this E2 from Kalamazoo collector A. C. Baker.
He restored it in 1955 or '56, outfitting it with a boiler and burner outfit of his own design. He appears to have made several of these powerplants, selling them to other Stanley owners. The car is now in California, still in Waber's family after 60 years, and still running H. W.'s steam generator. |
chassis 4852 engine G02120 model E2 body Runabout | image source - Antique Automobile, Fall 1956 Ken Maxwell did a lovely restoration on this EX in Arizona in the late '50s.
This well-traveled car went to Harrah's, then to Singapore, Hong Kong, and finally to England, where it is today. |
chassis 5997 engine model 62 body Roadster | image source - Baltimore Sun, July 26, 1959 Norbert Behrendt showed this roadster at the Laurel Race Track in Baltimore, on July 25, 1959.

He had taken the car to the 1957 Ken steam car meet, probably with a fresh restoration. Today it is in New Hampshire. |
