Скачать или смотреть 1903 Stanley Model C: The Steam Car That Outran 1903’s Gas Engines

1903 Stanley Model C 🚂 was a 53 mph steam runabout that shocked America’s early motorists. At a time when most cars needed cranks, gears, and prayers to get moving, the Model C could launch silently, even in reverse, with no transmission at all. Built by the Stanley twins in Newton, Massachusetts, this lightweight, tiller-steered marvel delivered 6.5 HP of direct-drive steam power to the rear wheels—proving that steam could be fast, safe, and practical.

From its wire-wound boiler to its elegant simplicity, the Model C remains one of the most charming survivors of the Veteran Car era. We’ll explore how it worked, why it was feared, and how it became a collector’s gem over a century later. Whether you’re into early motoring history or just love mad machines, this is a ride worth taking.
