Roadster
 
The Model R roadster is a smart high-powered car, for two to four people. The price of $1350 includes a choice of rear seats-a single rumble; a double rumble: a duplicate of the front divided seats: or a full undivided two passenger seat. Without a rear seat the car has a neat plain artillery box.

This roadster is on the same 20 horsepower plant as the model T touring car. It is quite the same car except as to the body and tires. The tires are 36x3-1/2 inches all around.

The speed of this car is all that anyone can require in a road car. It is for those who wish to hit a speed of 60 to 70 miles an hour on a good road, and still be able to run through city streets without danger of overheating or 'stalling.'

There is no changing of gears, speeds from a creeping pace to a mile a minute or more can be had by simply opening or closing the throttle that's sub-imposed on the steering wheel.

The Model R is a valuable also to those who live in hilly districts (as Pittsburgh) and find that the average gasoline car at twice or three times the price will falter on the hills and fail in the times where a little reserve is needed.

Chassis Num: 5003
 
This Stanley Steamer Model R 20 Roadster (Chassis # 5003) is a relic of the by-gone era of steam power. It sports a 20-horsepower two-cylinder, 4' bore 'wet' engine (actual output up to 60 bhp), full elliptical springs, and a wheelbase of 112 inches. The car is a wonderfully restored example of steam-powered early transportation, sharing the road with horses and buggies.

George McKay Schieffelin and Laurie Graham Scheiffelin found this 1909 Stanley Steamer Model R Roadster in 1961. They had the car restored the same year, and toured it in the United States and Europe for many years, until George's death. The car was restored a second time in the late 1990's by Charles Johnson at the Stanley Shop, Inc. In 1999, Laurie Graham donated the steamer to the Frick Art & Historical Center in Pittsburgh. Her final ride in the Steamer and the transfer of ownership was documented on film, and shown in the theater at the Car and Carriage Museum at the Frick.
The 1909 Stanley Steamer Model R was powered by a 2-cylider steam engine that produced 20 horsepower. It had a roadster body-style and a wheelbase that measured 112-inches. It was joined by three other models in the Stanley line-up for 1909, which included the Model E2 Runabout, the Model M Touring car, and the Model Z Mountain Wagon. The Model E2 had a 10 horsepower engine and a 110-inch wheelbase platform. The Model M rested on a 114-inch wheelbase and was powered by a 30 horsepower engine. The Model Z also had a 30-horsepower engine but a larger, 118-inch wheelbase.
