A Pebble Beach Restoration
When this Stanley Steamer was sold by Bonhams, hey described the car's provenance as follows:
"Chassis no. 6076 was bought prior to World War I by a Mr. Fodor from a Stanley dealer in Norwalk, T. and although its subsequent history is not fully listed it remained in preservation until the 1990's when a comprehensive restoration was embarked upon. The model was fully researched through analysis of the best examples extant and through interviews and meetings with the most respected Stanley authorities. The oversight of the restoration was entrusted to noted restorers, aul Russell & Co., ith a brief to restore the car in exacting detail as closely as possible to original specification. This restoration took place in the Summer of 1997. Coachwork was entrusted to Mark Herman, oiler to Don Bourdon, pholstery to Mike Curley and plumbing assistance was given by Charlie Johnson. The car was prepared for Pebble Beach and shown there in 1997 and awarded 2nd in Class. The Toy Tonneau body was refinished in Brewster Green, ith yellow wooden spoked wheels and chassis details, nd the car correctly equipped with gas headlamps and kerosene auxiliary lighting. The four passenger seats were reupholstered to original pattern in black leather and the top recovered. In short no stone was left unturned to ensure that 6076 was and is presented as closely as possible to the specification and condition in which it left the Stanley production line in Newton, assachusetts.
Subsequent to its presentation at Pebble Beach, his car successfully competed in the 'Steaming Through The Rockies' rally in 1998, ompleting the tour without difficulty and demonstrating itself equally suited to use on the rally and show circuit."
Great Looking
This 1911 Stanley looks like it just came out of the showroom back in 1911:
Paint and Chrome
Fully restored in Dark Green and Black with a yellow and pinstriped undercarriage, his Steamer looks as new. The paint is in virtually perfect condition.
Interior
The interior upholstery was all redone in black leather, nd looks, eels and smells as new. The new door panels are excellent as well. The dash and all of the gauges are in excellent cosmetic condition.
Engine
The steam boiler works properly and has just been thoroughly gone over to ensure it operates correctly. Nothing is more fun than hearing the chug-chug of this vehicle going down the road or its air whistle.
Transmission/controls
This Steamer runs properly in forward and reverse, nd all of the controls operate properly.
Chassis
The underside is virtually as clean as the exterior. It is painted sunshine yellow and has pinstriping on the front and rear. Likewise, he spoke wheels, ll in excellent condition, re painted yellow with pinstriping.
Comfort features
Back in 1911 there weren't many creature comforts in automobiles, ut those that were available are all first class on this Steamer. The leather upholstery of both the front and rear seats is supple and in excellent condition. The convertible top looks like new.
They Don't Get Any Nicer than this Stanley!!
Fully-restored and of museum quality, ou won't find a nicer Stanley Steamer than this one. Whether intended for your "to look at" collection or as a vehicle that you plan to show/drive, his car has you covered on both fronts.
