1908 Stanley Model H news, pictures, and information

Gentlemen's Speedy Roadster
 
This model of Stanley was directed to gentlemen buyers who desired a very fast, sporty car, and didn't need to transport a family or more than one passenger. No top, no windshield, no added weight. This vehicle tips the scales at a mere 2,335 lbs. curb weight, only 90 lbs. more than a 10 hp roadster. The equation translates to double the power with no obesity.

Those who have experienced the excitement of piloting this model on a spirited drive often describe the joy thereafter by referring to it as 'The Corvette of Stanleys.' Just as any true sports car wouldn't be as appealing with a back seat, a very sporty car owner in the early motoring era would not detract from the aesthetics by adding practical accoutrements such as a top or windshield. Only 99 Model Hs were built by Stanley between 1905-1909. Stanley produced approximately 11,000 vehicles between 1902-1926.
