wrenchhead ◊ 2007-02-28 20:03	I doubt that either is really correct. Apparently they had model names, see: http://www.stanleymotorcarriage.com/GeneralTechnical/GeneralTechnical.htm and http://www.bayberryclassics.com/Pages/vintage/06Stanley.htm I don't know the correct make name but I would guess that its Stanley Motor Carriages. However, I have never heard them called anything but Stanley Steamer. I would suggest that this one is: Make = Stanley (or Stanley Steamer) , model maybe 735 B http://photos.aaca.org/data/519/23090HPIM0942-med.JPG?4953 , put Steamer in extra info if not used in make. -- Last edit: 2007-02-28 20:07:30
antp ◊ 2007-02-28 23:35	I rename all the others then?

Here's another photo of the same car in Chicago in 1945 - maybe it was even taken in the same session as the film footage. -- Last edit: 2011-02-10 02:39:29
