The Stanley twins, Francis and Freelan, made their fortune by inventing and manufacturing dry photographic plates and later selling their firm to Eastman Kodak. In 1897, they found their second great success by producing Stanley steam-powered 'motor carriages.' Two years later, the brothers sold the car company to the publisher of Cosmopolitan magazine, who named the car the Locomobile. The Stanleys soon re-entered the auto industry, naming their new car the Stanley Steamer.
In 1906, a modified Stanley Steamer broke the land speed record at Daytona Beach by reaching 127 mph. While very fast, steam cars required a complex and lengthy start-up procedure, taking 30 minutes to heat up, and were eventually outsold by simpler, less expensive gasoline-powered cars.
This 1908 Stanley Steamer Runabout is powered by a 10-horsepower engine and rides on a 90-inch platform.
