Presented here is a rare, unrestored example of Stanley’s remarkable Model 725. The car’s first known owner was Don C. Foote, a noted collector based in Billings, Montana, who acquired the Stanley during the mid- to late-1940s. Following his death, it was sold to Bud Zimmerman, from whose estate Stan Lucas purchased the car in 1997. Remarkably complete and unaltered, this Model 725 retains what appears to be its original upholstery and intact period gauges. A seldom-seen example of Stanley’s second-generation condensing steam car, this historically significant machine would be an ideal candidate for either sympathetic restoration or preservation-class display.
