1923 Stanley steam car Model 740D Big Sedan11/18/2020 Spring City Steam Works For Sale – Garage Find! 1923 Stanley Model 740D Big Sedan Serial # 23453 This is a wonderful find, being sold for the Estate of Walter Nuss. It has been at least 20 years since this car has run, but it is a very solid car with some nice history! Back in the mid 1940’s this was “Stayton’s Steamer”. He or someone has done previous restoration on the car but it is largely in the same state it was from these articles with its unique “Sisson” Ball Headlights and fender mounted rear-view mirrors. This car has been upgraded to a 27 inch “30 HP” boiler and burner. The burner (which needs at least the insulation redone) is a slotted baker type which looks to be of Amsley design. There is a Cruban Type pilot with the burner. Various valves have been replaced with some ball valves which I would personally not use. No water gauge is currently installed but there is included a kidney gauge and a dead-sight gauge which seem to have been in process as the firewall is marked with some boiler heights in old tape. The pump pit appears to have had some attention with either chromed or stainless pump pistons. It is DIRTY however as the upholstery stuffing is dry and falling into these areas. As with 740’s the air tank is under the seat. Interestingly, there is an air gauge in the standard location under the seat view with the door open, but also one on the dash. There is a centre hole in the dash missing potentially an older boiler level indicator. Front upholstery seems to have been redone from original. The rear however appears to be original and is quite good for its age. New carpets and the jump seats were also likely redone at some point. Windows have original mechanisms however the rear 2 doors seem to have fabricated handles for the windows. All doors open easy and click shut very well – a nice solid body! Roof is dry and some cracking but not terrible. Headliner is remarkably good. Small leather handles and straps are missing as often the case. The chassis is in good overall condition. The wire wheels are very solid and little rust. (Although it should be noted that both front wheels have some bent spokes. Despite this, they run very true). The car rolls easy. The left perch pole was scorched or broken (or both!) and has a steel bar repair in place. 2 perch poles are included, one with a “front” fitting on it. A brace was added from side to side on the front most running board brackets. The engine insulation cover is currently off. The block is rusty as usual and there are hose clamps to hold the packing nuts in place, but the valve cover has not been beaten up so it was either replaced at some point or not been messed with much. Generator appears to have been swapped at some point but what is mounted is solid. Fuel tanks are both wet with old fuel, dirty, but appear solid and cleanable. Please feel free to message me for my phone number/Email to discuss or setup an inspection on the car. I do believe this will make someone a very nice car for touring. It is offered at $46,500 or reasonable offer. #stanleysteamer #stanleymotorcarriagecompany #stanleymotorcarriage #steamcar 1908 Stanley Vanderbilt Racer for sale11/11/2020 1908 Stanley Vanderbilt Racer for sale A client of mine is selling his 1908 Stanley 30HP steam car, cover model of "Clun Chronicle and Newcastle notes" in October 2009.

ALL REASONABLE OFFERS ENTERTAINED The history of the Stanley Brothers and the cars has been well documented, most recently in The Stanley Steamer: America’s Legendary Steam Car by Kit Foster. After selling their dry plate film business they ventured into automobiles. Steam was their choice. One of their most significant achievements was the wire wound boiler. This innovation greatly decreased the boiler weight from more conventional ones and thereby reduced the boiler to chassis ratio. So successful was this car that by 1899 they had buyers for their new company and its patents. The sale resulted in the Locomobile and later the Mobile steam car. The new partners disagreed over the future development of their cars and sold the patent rights back to the Stanley brothers. A new and improved Stanley was introduced in 1904. Most noticeable was the introduction of the horizontally mounted engine, this feature as well as the wire wound boiler would last till the end of production. New PRICE: $139,500 Contact Tom

The Latch is unkeyed and uses a square end T handle to open and close. The recess and cover appears identical to the boot latches so a boot latch would be fine.

I'm posting a whole bunch of pictures for consideration. Many parts look to be in great condition aside from dirt, dust, and age. Certainly much will require some refurbishing but if you are considering a Stanley you know all about that! All systems are quite simple, so is their restoration. Its not hard, just different! There are 5 new tires, the right side are mounted, the others are still wrapped. Spare rim included. This car has a rear mounted trunk and extensions for the spare tire holder. Originally a California top car, included is a fairly complete set of hardware for the California top as well as a folding top and some gathers. Interior components and floorboards are complete with all hardware. While you are welcome to 1 of 3 "old" boilers, I wouldn't recommend using any of the options. The burner is mostly complete but disassembled. Good for patterns for a new burner. The engine is complete and runs on air. Leaks a little but runs as a Stanley does on air. Piping is mostly all there from what I can see. Pump pit fittings, wye's etc are there. Water and fuel filters, the essential valves (bypass, main fuel, firing up, etc) are all there. Probably will need a few hand valves to complete. Yarway blow down is there. Steam automatic, fuel automatic, low fuel cutoff, water automatic, etc included. Kidney gauge, service fuel tanks, water tank, hand pumps etc. Chassis rolls nicely and appears in pretty good order. Body all has some various surface corrosion but not really any serious cancer. Wood is pretty solid. The doors do not all line up 100% but all doors latch at leaet on the first notch. Dash is pretty complete including gauges and lights. I have a speedometer or 2 that would fit. There is an air gauge as well which can be hard to find. $22500 or best offer. Send me a message for email or phone number. I have a very similar car here running and is a perfect example for "where everything goes". Stop out to see me and take a ride in my other car! Pm for more details or to discuss!

Lot 152 Formerly in the Curt Blake Collection 1908 Stanley Model F 20HP Touring Car Chassis no. 3899 Engine no. F-862 2-Cylinder Double-Acting Steam Engine Approximately 20bhp Chain-Driven Rear Differential 4-Wheel Leaf Spring Suspension 2-Wheel Mechanical Brakes *Recognized as a highly authentic example *Known ownership back to the 1950s *In use in recent years *Eligible for HCCA Tours STANLEY STEAM CARS Certainly the best known, if not the most common steamers, came from the Massachusetts workshops of former photographic equipment makers F.E. and F.O. Stanley. The earliest cars were buggy-like, with their boiler and valve controls under the seat, but eventually came to look much like conventional automobiles, having the boiler and motor under a boxy, coffin-like nose and the drive taken to the rear wheels. When the early 10hp models were found to be limited in their performance if fully laden, Stanley responded with the scaled-up 20hp Model F in 1905. Form 1906 their wheelbase was extended slightly to 100 inches allowing for more coachwork capacity and the boiler enlarged to 23 inches. The model was a great success, remaining in production through to 1908 and being the basis for successive 20hp cars. A five passenger side entrance tonneau as that offered here could run then and today at 50mph, and would have set its owner back a mere $1,500 when new, which was terrific value compared to other cars, be they steam powered or gasoline. It led Stanley to claim that 'there is no American gasoline (sic) stock car, at any price, which is so speedy on road, hill or track'! The Model F actually was the fastest stock touring car in the word, as it won the honor at Ormond Beach alongside the Stanley Land Speed Racer. THE MOTORCAR OFFERED Stanley steam cars have always had a devoted following, many sharing the fascination of this bygone era before the world became fully dominated by cars powered by internal combustion engines. The curiosity and love of the concept and indeed the performance that a steam car offers has meant that long after their day enthusiasts would piece together spares and revive, resuscitate or indeed build cars from scratch. In the modern collecting era which has become more educated on purity, originality and authenticity of an automobile, this has made a quest for a truly original steam car become quite a challenge and even more so if one wants one of the larger horsepower examples. It was exactly that conundrum that the late owner of this car faced when wishing to satiate his desire to add a 20hp Stanley to a well honed stable of the finest and purest pre-war automobiles. Finally in 2016, his attention was drawn to the example offered today, which in his the current idiom 'ticked all the boxes'. In its last ownership it has resided for a decade or more in the well-respected, but now disbanded Wells Auto Museum in Maine. Stanley number 3899 could trace its ownership back to the 1950s or earlier always being known as a wonderful example of its breed. According to the online published Stanley Register and information kindly provided by Mark Herman, the car was owned by a Webster Knight in 1951, who is understood to have found it in Rhode Island. The car was suspended on the upper floor in an old mill building when Mr. Knight recovered it! In 1986 it joined the collection of Curtis Blake, one of the two car collecting brothers who owned the famed Friendly's chain of restaurants, and it was sympathetically, but extensively restored for him by Calvin Holmes, a pioneer steam car restoration specialist. The top currently on the car was a gift from noted steam car collector Frank Gardner and is said to be from his father's 1906 Model F, purchased new from the Stanley factory. It then went to Brent Campbell, a major collector and historian of the Stanley marque, and later the Gould family who ran Wells. The car operates as originally outfitted with a single fuel gasoline burner and pilot, which is a notable original feature. The 1908 F is coveted for its updated Oil pump system and the graceful cowl that replace the earlier flat dashed cars of 1905-07. As purchased the Stanley was in running order, it has continued to be maintained in the last 3 years and has been taken to HCCA events. Gurus of this genre and era, such as Mark Herman and Stu Laidlaw, cite this car being one of the very best of the surviving 20hp cars, high praise indeed! It offers tour car potential and a truly collectible example of the marque and model, which is rarely found.Footnotes

Sold $80000.00 2-Speed Transaxle 4-Wheel Leaf Spring Rear Drum Brakes *A highly authentic and original example of a well renowned model *Formerly owned by Dick Wells for 25 years *Sympathetically maintained and routinely steamed up *Previously regularly driven on tours THE WHITE STEAMER White Steamers were manufactured in Cleveland, Ohio, from 1900 until 1910 by the White Motor Company. Thomas White and William Grout had gone into business as a manufacturer of sewing machines in Massachusetts before the Civil War, later moving the firm to Ohio. Around 1900, White's sons Rollin, Windsor, and Walter entered the steam automobile industry, producing four automobiles and one truck. Rollin White had already invented the semi-flash boiler, at that time an important advancement in steam technology. According to the Standard Catalog of American Cars, the firm had produced 193 vehicles in 1901. In 1906, White's automobile division began operating separately from its parent sewing machine business. White steamers were of excellent quality, and many were purchased by prominent individuals, including President Taft and John D. Rockefeller. In fact, a White was the only automobile present in the 1905 inaugural parade of President Theodore Roosevelt. In 1910, White made a successful foray into the manufacture of gasoline-powered vehicles, selling nearly as many of those as it had of steam cars. The numbers were fairly even again in 1911, but that was the final year for White steamers. By 1911, White had handily surpassed Stanley as the largest manufacturers of steam automobiles, delivering over 9,000 examples to Stanley's total of 5,200, despite costing significantly more. White steamers featured a complex, "Compound" two-cylinder system in which water was flash-heated in a boiler, then compressed in one cylinder, and then injected into a second cylinder at high pressure. White steamers also used a rear transaxle that incorporated two forward speeds plus neutral; the neutral allowed an operator to warm up the car at rest. In 1918, when White ceased production of automobiles to concentrate on commercial trucks, it had produced more than 9,000 steam-powered cars. Although many were built, White steamers are rarely seen today. Whites are viewed by many as the finest of the early steam cars, well-built and costly when new, and greatly appreciated today. THE MOTORCAR OFFERED This Model O-O is presented from a stable of exceptionally high-quality early automobiles, each selected with the utmost care for correctness and originality. It is quite common for steam cars to have been revived from a modest basis of spares, but far rarer to find a pure, original example such as the car on offer. To judge from the car's condition today, it appears to have been sympathetically owned and only lightly restored over time, viewing it is a rewarding exercise. The bodywork, finished in an understated white over black scheme is original, beneath the front passenger seat its body construction number can be found, 00941, and while some of the more used front seating has been retrimmed carefully, the rear door panels reveal themselves to be the original leather finish. The beauty of authentic cars is in the detail that they retain, and the White can be seen to still have features such as its original supply plate, kicker plates on the entry points on the front seating area and even its windshield still has its maker plaque confirming the existence of an entity long forgotten – The Troy Carriage Sun Shade Company of Troy, Ohio. That the car survives so well 110 years after it was built in this fine order is testament to a simple chain of ownership, which the White Steam Car Registry cites a mere handful of custodians for the car, being Ollie Hall, Emmett Tucker, Charlie Kulchar and then Dick Wells in 1991 from whom the current owners acquired it in 2016. In its last ownership, Mr. Wells routinely used the car, steaming her up for a number of tours and as purchased it was in ready to use order. This is recorded as the highest listed number in the sequence of these cars, in theory making it the last that was built/supplied – a notable claim and landmark in the story of White as they moved away from steam to petrol cars.Footnotes

Lot 211 1908 Stanley Steamer 10hp EX Runabout Chassis no. 4108 10bhp Single-Cylinder Steam Engine Solid Front Axle and Live Rear Axle Full-Elliptical Leaf Spring Suspension 2-Wheel Mechanical Brake System *Sporty and charismatic steam car *From the estate of Mr. Gary Hoonsbeen. *Comprehensively restored. *Known history since the 1960s THE MOTORCAR OFFERED The Stanley twins, Francis E. and Freelan O., were exceptionally gifted, creative designers who also happened to be solid businessmen. The famous steam automobile which bears their name is the second. The Stanley Model EX was entirely a wooden body design including the main frame rails. The Model EX was a "four" passenger car. The rear seat was unlike any other Stanley. It was on sliders so it could be moved rearward to provide some room for passengers and slide forward to convert the rear area to just storage. The Stanley's design had one advantage; it was an extremely light-weight vehicle. The EX Model, with about 450 pounds of steam pressure could reach 60mph for a mile or so; it could accelerate at rates that would beat any internal combustion engine vehicle then produced. This particular 1908 Stanley Model EX was discovered in a barn in Massachusetts in the 1960s. It was purchased from a collector in Massachusetts by Gary Hoonsbeen in 2004. Gary, known best for his 40-years as editor of the Curved Dash Oldsmobile Club newsletter, had recently completed a restoration of a 1900 Mobile. The steam engine Mobile had been used by Gary on several tours and proved to be a reliable car, he now was looking to tackle a Stanley. This Stanley Model EX had undergone a previous restoration, but Gary felt much of the work had been done incorrectly or of poor quality. He set about to return this Stanley to its original specifications spending over 6-years on a meticulous restoration. As he was completing the work on this Stanley, his health turned poor. However, he had fully tested all the systems and was confident the car was ready for its initial run. He passed away before being able to start the car. The car is offered largely complete as shown, with parts and documents chronically Gary's restoration.

It is an exceptional and truly sorted example, with an excellent background documented in a large folder of accompanying paperwork. It is an example of a 10hp four-seat open top Runabout, built originally in 1910. It is in good running condition with excellent paintwork and looks stunning. It has recently, in 2016, had a new boiler, made by J Goold; a reputable name in steam car boiler making. As such, amongst the intensive paperwork accompanying this car, we have a boiler certificate dated to expire towards the end of 2020. In an attempt to interpret the receipts and small snippets of writeups within the paperwork, I have managed to put together something of a timeline of this car's more recent life. This car left the Stanley workshop in 1910 as one of 352 other Type 60 Stanley’s to leave the shop that year. It is number 5491 and engine number 6--440. It spent its life in the USA, being converted into a boy racer looking machine in 1922 (the photos are something to behold!) Eventually, it came into the ownership of a Geary Baese of Fort Collins, Colorado in need of a complete restoration. We have some photos of how Mr. Baese first saw this car and his highly skilled input to the project is documented. In 2006 the car was sold as a partially complete project and it was at this point that it was bought by a gentleman in the UK who imported it and completed it to a high standard. It has since changed hands a couple of times, needing a new boiler in 2016 which was fitted and it is now presented for sale as a well sorted example of a sought after but hard to come by, well traceable and documented Type 60 Stanley. It has been converted to a gas pilot with two gas canisters. Once ignited, it runs on a kerosene. It is road registered and includes the V5C on the registration number BF 4908 - being under the historic vehicle tax band, it is, of course, tax and MOT exempt. A fantastic opportunity to buy a unique machine which epitomises the look of the steam car. Restored and maintained to a high standard, this would want for no more than generally maintenance work wise and would be ready to go for the 2020 season. Asking Price - £49,995 As with any of our listed vehicles, we always recommend viewing in person. This steam car is based on our premises and so is available for viewing during our opening hours.
