Stanley Steamer |

Others were listed with Steam or Steamer in model name: /vehicles_make-Stanley.html Which one is correct? |

I doubt that either is really correct. Apparently they had model names, see: http://www.stanleymotorcarriage.com/GeneralTechnical/GeneralTechnical.htm and http://www.bayberryclassics.com/Pages/vintage/06Stanley.htm I don't know the correct make name but I would guess that its Stanley Motor Carriages. However, I have never heard them called anything but Stanley Steamer. I would suggest that this one is: Make = Stanley (or Stanley Steamer) , model maybe 735 B http://photos.aaca.org/data/519/23090HPIM0942-med.JPG?4953 , put Steamer in extra info if not used in make. -- Last edit: 2007-02-28 20:07:30 |

I rename all the others then? |

To be consistent, I think so. I will try to find model numbers for them. If we can't find model numbers, I would suggest leaving 'model' blank for these cars. |

This is a Model 740, from 1922 or '23. The squared leading edges of the front fenders distinguish it from the earlier Model 735. Here's another photo of the same car in Chicago in 1945 - maybe it was even taken in the same session as the film footage. -- Last edit: 2011-02-10 02:39:29 |
