1910 Stanley Model 70 Touring

The Stanley brothers were identical twins who went by their initials, F.E. and F.O. They would build one of the most famous automobiles to use steam power to propel itself.

This Model 70 is one of about ten known survivors of this specification. It was built using original and reproduction components in 1985 by Carl Amsley. It is a 25 steam horsepower model with a 24 x 14-inch boiler.

In 1987, the Stanley was purchased from Amsley by Jay Milligan. It then became a frequent participant in steam tours, including recording the fastest time in the Dead Horse Hill Climb of 1997. It ran in tours in Delaware, Vermont, and Connecticut in 2007, 2008, and 2014, respectively.

In 2004, this Stanley Model 70 achieved its AACA Grand National First Prize honors.
