A 1900 Stanley Steam Car Locomobile. |

There is a small problem: this was filmed on November 4, 1899, but the Locomobile Steam Runabout, which was designed by the Stanley Brothers, only appeared in 1900. The overall shape looks correct, but such pony-cars were used by others, too: e.g. by the Liquid Air Car Company (in 1903, so this cannot be the one, either). |

The Stanley Motor Carriage Company started in 1902. In addition, the early stanley cars did not have springs between the chassis and body. See: http://www.4to40.com/images/earth/science/car/stanley_steamer.gif The car here looks to have springs between the chassis and body so its definately not a stanley. Based on what looks like transverse mounted springs and the general appearance, I would agree with with Raul1983 that it may be a Whitney. |

This is pretty much a shot in the dark but to me it looks more like a 1899-1900 Locomobile: http://theoldmotor.com/?attachment_id=5308 https://assets.hemmings.com/story_image/40475-500-0@2x.jpg?rev=1 Locomobile was founded in June 1899, and produced the original Stanley design of 1898 while the company went on to produce their own designs. |

Quite possibly a Whitney - the Whitney steamer was manufactured from 1895-1898. Some were manufactured under licence in Boston under the name Stanley-Whitney, but no relation to FE and FO Stanley of the Stanley and Locomobile fame. The vehicle shown could have been an early Stanley (they made cars under their own name from 1898-1901 before selling the business to Locomobile). They then bought the company back 18 months later and formed the Stanley Motor Carriage Company. |
