The Stanley holds a mythical place in early automotive history and is arguably the most famous steam-powered car of its era. For 1910, Stanley’s nimble and quick 10 hp model was offered as a Roadster (Model 60) or Toy-Tonneau (Model 61), with the latter priced at $1,000. A sealed, lubricated crankcase was a notable innovation, making these cars foundational to the modern steam hobby and popular with enthusiasts today.
This Model 61 was profiled in the July/August 1983 issue of Antique Automobile, following a complete restoration overseen by Clois E. Kicklighter, with coachwork by Stanley expert Carl Amsley and a serial number chosen from the correct 1910 range. After winning several AACA awards, it was sold to Clarence Coe of California, and later acquired by Stan Lucas. Maintained as a static display for decades, it remains cosmetically presentable and, with recommissioning, would make a capable tour car.
