Great vid, super cool car, seems to accelerate faster than most internal combustion cars. Also, would anyone have information on the Bryan steam car. From what I can gather, there is only one left. It was made in Peru Indiana by Bryan Boiler Co. Any info on it's whereabouts would be apriciated.
It's like having your own inidividual locomotive engine--which is what it is--complete with the choo-choo sound! It sounds like the engine is simply loafing along in all applications.
It's a beautiful car. I love the red. I don't think the speed-factor is quite THAT amazing. People tend to underestimate the power of steam. They forget that 100 years ago, steam sent great ships across the oceans and trains across countries That's a wonderful car and 65 is a decent top speed, to be sure. How did your father buy the this car? I think Stanley Steamers are cute.
The Stanley Steam-cars of the 1900s held the steam-car speed-record (127mph) for over 100 years, from 1906-2009, when it was broken by a modern modern, British-made steam-car.
Fantastic car, I wish I could own one of those some day. Love the pictures at the beginning, and Rascal Flatts is the perfect touch. I'll definitely have to make it out to Colorado to see it. And go for a ride if I'm lucky enough.
The Stanley was always a dream car, sort of a mystique, an itch I could not scratch. Through a friend I got a chance to work on one and ride in one. I posted some videos of the 1911. This 1909 is a beautiful car, one day I will make it to the Stanley Museum to see it. Thanks for sharing, sounds like Dad and the car were both special. Who could rate this one less than five stars...
Thanks for the video. This is my dream car that I do not ever think I will have the chance to own. If I could choose any car in the world, it would be a Stanley. It is great to see that the car is still operated. A car stationary in a museum is no longer an automobile. Fantastic automobile.
It is an amazing vehicle!I have been on the 10 freeway in Los Angeles doing 65MPH with my dad! If you ever get to Estes Park during the summer tell Byron Holly told me to ask for a ride.He will know who you mean!
YOUR DAD MUST BE A MILLIONAR..NICE CAR

That is awesome, Just the sounds of it is lovely! I'd love to hear it tackle a step hill and listen to it work hard!

Where'd you get that whistle recording at the beginning of the clip? It's exactly that of South Simcoe Railway's # 136.
