Hi, Much of the information you have posted is incorrect, check out The Steam Car Club of Great Britain web site http://www.steamcar.net for all the info on Stanley Steamers, regards, Jeff.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great opportunity Sean to expand more on our fieldtrip to the Stanley Steamer Museum in Kingfield, Maine. (Remember to review your work especially when there are historical figures.I think you were in a rush when writing this??? )You are correct that the Stanley Steamer is a very old car.Try and recall what you and Nino were thinking when you saw the 3 Stanley Steamer models on display!! The video we watched, the amazing photography dry plate collection with cameras! You also forgot to mention that They were twins, F.E and F.O. Elaborate a little more please :)
