Stanley Steamer (1908)

From the Stanley Motor Carriage Company, operating from 1902 to 1924. They went bust after their steam cars couldn't compete with advancing internal combustion engine technology. A key development in their the demise was the electric starter, which eliminated the risk of injury from a crank start.
