1922 Stanley Condenser Model 740

Car Information
Parts quest
I recently re-cored the condenser of my 1922 Stanley 740. When I got the car last July some parts were missing, among them the condenser inlet elbow. Posting some "wanteds" on another site I found Allen Blazick, in Fremont, California. He has more than a dozen Stanleys in various states of repair, from Museum/Concours quality to "diamond in the rough". I inquired if he might entertain a visit where I might take pictures of interiors and interior construction, and also possibly purchase some parts. He has a large collection of parts, and proved to be quite helpful! My sedan has no interior. I wanted to take photos of similar cars to see how the rear floor, with jump seats was constructed, as well as interior panels and upholstery materials. I was invited to explore to my heart's content.

Stanley 726 Recommissioned

2/24/2020

 
Tom Attwood writes:
This weekend just past, saw the first steaming of the year for my Stanley 726 that I was lucky enough to acquire just a few months ago. Greatly encouraged in the purchase by George Hounslow having spent the New Forest Tour navigating for him on his Porter Steam Car. I am incredibly grateful to George and his parents for then leading the recommission of the car, sorting out a number of jobs associated with wear and tear, as well as preparation and arranging a hydraulic and steam boiler test. A number of safety improvements/replacement parts, not to mention extremely good tuition in maintenance, management and driving! After many weekends work from myself but 10x more from George, we had a very successful 3 days cruising around Wiltshire in some pretty challenging terrain at times. The Stanley performed faultlessly and I really couldn't be happier with it! Here's to a busy 2020!
Unfortunately the weather has been rotten and the roads are filthy so the car got quite dirty, the photo below was taken Sunday morning. However, Sunday afternoon was spent in the garage cleaning for a few hours!

Stanley Model 60 first fire up

2/15/2020

 
Roel Rasker writes:
Today we ( Arnoud Carp and Roel Rasker ) assisted Philippe Mulders to get started with his model 60 Stanley in the city centre of Maastricht.
Philippe is new in steam but after a few hours he was able to start the car without any problems himself.
This now means there is a beautiful, unspoiled, original Stanley in the Fineautomobiles Collection in The Netherlands.
