Brothers Francis and Freelan Stanley built their first steam car in 1897, when the ideal automobile power source was an open question. Gasoline became the favorite by the mid-1910s, but Stanley Motor Carriage Company -- formed in 1902 -- stuck with steam until the firm went out of business in 1924. Today, Stanley is the best remembered of the early steam makes.
