If you go to steam shows or old car shows you will probably see a Stanley Steamer once in a while, but a Doble steam car is almost a unicorn. I have never seen one, and if not for Jay Leno, I would know nothing about them. This is a good look that all steam enthusiasts will enjoy. Hat Tip to Merle for picking this video!
I have always been a fan of steam cars and trucks. Well, ok, just about anything powered by steam. The Stanley was my first foray into a car that could travel on most any road. I think those two eccentric twins that built only cemented my interest. And, they made violins before that!
ReplyDeleteThe Doble is so much more developed and sophisticated. A car that could be built today and keep up with the traffic. Of course it couldn't outrun the lawyers. Thanks for bringing such videos to the light of day.
