Re: Did Packard ever make a steam-engine?

I used to own a 1908 Stanley Steamer model EX, 10 HP.

Once fired up (20 minutes) it was way quicker than my 54 Packard Cavalier is.

My Stanley was bought new by a Dr. Lang in 1908, who probably kept the car fired up to do house calls for which it was probably much more flexible than the crank start Infernal Combustion cars of the period.

A little gas and an occasional horse trough for water and the Stanley could fly.
