Jay, you outdid yourself with this one! That Stanley is a beautiful car! Just as the owner was showing off the dashboard, I was thinking 'well, at least nobody could steal that!'. A few seconds later, you said the same thing! Great minds and all that. I learned a lot! The only thing I knew about was Fred Marriott's 127mph record. One of your best episodes yet! WYR= I'm a glutton for punishment; I'd take the Stanley! Hey, at least here in Phoenix, the water would probably boil by itself! No flames shooting out at me!
WYR: both scenarios, the Stanley Steamer. It’s probably the most iconic of all the choices. A very interesting car, I’m glad the owner explained how it works. Still, it would take some time to get used to operating it. But too bad they stopped making them.
Excellent episode Jay! Thanks to the owner for explaining the operation of the Stanley. First pick 1910 White OO steamer, second 1910 Milbourne Electric.
I've wanted to do a steam car for the last two years but I knew that I didn't know what any of those control valves did so I needed the owner to explain that last year I missed my opportunity and I didn't see one at Hershey. I didn't want to miss my opportunity again.
WYR: All of them. If you can fix a steam locomotive, you can fix a Stanley Steamer or any other steam-powered car. The only major difference is the size of the parts.
Great video! I love Stanley's. They were made close to where I grew up and there were always a few in my town's Fourth of July parade in the 1960's. Thank you to Mr. Smith for explaining the operation and sharing his car. I'd choose the Stanley in both scenarios.
I didn't get to cover that many cars at Greenfield Village this year. I spent a lot of time with my family, but this was one that I really wanted to do...
2:46 Bicycles as a new thing in the 1890s. They really were a new thing in the 1890s. Kind of mind blowing knowing that a transportation device as complicated as a car had already become a thing at that time. One would think that a device so practical and easier to engineer than a car would have been a thing 100 years earlier.
WYR is tough! But the Pearson Cox is a phaeton so I gotta have it. And the Milbourne looks neat. But really the Stanley is in a class all it's own as the most recognized name in steam and they were top quality cars in design and build which put them there.
I’m gonna have to go with the 1910 white, since the Stanley doesn’t have a condenser your constantly refilling with water whereas with the white you get more miles Per gallon of water.
Awesome choice =) I totally agree about the condenser. I was reading after I put this together. Stanley did offer a condenser later on just not available on this car.
Hi Jay! Thanks for showing the amazing Stanley Steamer! I am kind of surprised, that with the modern computer controlled EVERYTHING, that someone has not made a modern version of these. With the condenser tech that Doble used and a computer to take care of all the valves and startup procedures, these could possibly be viable! 20 minute startup, well you push your fancy remote and the thing starts up while you are getting ready to leave! Shutdown, same thing. Having alternative fuels would also be a plus. WYR #1 Stanley for sure. 2 Locomobile! Those were very well made cars!
My man that steam car is so cool , i operated a few building boilers , easer than that car lol . Steam trains maybe easier to I’m not sure. But I have to admit I’m 62 years old. This is the first time I see an operated steam car thanks you made my day❤
That's awesome. I'm glad this made your day I love the episodes that have lots of history in them I'm hoping tomorrow will be the episode. I'm going to try to do it on the Franklin air cooled engines as a whole
Awesome trivia.. it seems like there's a pretty good club support for this car. They had I think seven or eight Stanley at the Greenfield Village this year which was more than last year.
The Doble steam car model E and model F are the best steam cars ever made. They could go 1,500 miles on 24 gallons of water. They were much faster to get going as well, less than a minute from dead cold. Jay Leno owns a Model E Doble that was once owned by billionaire Howard Hughes. These cars were also fast, up to 75 mph in 10 seconds with a top speed of 120 MPH. Look them up!!
I think leno has two dobles I know he has one for sure.. totally agree that is the best steam car and they are super rare would love to cover on some day and do the history of that company
I sent Jay an article about the 1930 Doble that was from a July 1962 issue of Car Life magazine. The article went into pretty great detail about the features of Abner Doble's masterpiece. Not sure if Jay can use the info, but the Doble is extremely sophisticated!
@@What.its.like. -- Me too!! I've watched the Tonight Show since the 1960's and remember when Jay took over for Carson. He would often show up to the studio in one of his old cars. I was sad when Carson retired but Jay ended up being a great host of the show.
Milborn electric 👍 I don't have enough patience for a Steam Car 🤷!!!! You know how gasoline won the war.... 👏👏👏👏👏👏 Salute to the Owner... I'd exploded on the second day 😂.. Happy Motoring ✌️🤠
I thought about building a steam engine and boiler that can be used in a vehicle. Using electric blowers , blowing through a carburetor basically making a blow torch to heat a stainless coil boiler. In cool or cold weather heat the fuel in the carburetor to 100°f to 150°f using blower speed to throttle steam production. Build a engine with 4"-4.5" bore, with 6"-8" stroke double acting two cylinder. And a larger engine with 4cyl, 6" bore and 8" stroke. Double acting. With the exhaust entering a steam jacket around the cylinder . Like a water jacket, used to keep the cylinders heated preventing steam condensing. Even 150 psi spread over 6" of piston is a lot of pressure. Then imagine a big bore version, with 8" bore, 8" stroke. Possibly as much as a 10" stroke. The HP may definitely not be impressive. However the TQ would possibly shame a diesel engine with adequate pressure. Use 800 psi safety valves with a steam stack like a freight truck for the exhaust maybe a high speed v4 engine. With a short stroke 3.875"-4" a 8" bore basically looking similar to a big block chevy, only having 4cyl, possibly 6 cylinders. Using the blower for starting fast , then go to a more traditional burner to maintain steam. With a high pressure pump pushing water into the boiler after going thru a pre-heater. To heat the water to 200°-215° minimum, water doesn't boil at 212°f under 400 psi. So pre heat to just under boiling temperature at injection pressure. In the right vehicle near 200 mph should be possible. 😳 use a 2.5" steam supply the boiler is the HP limit.
That sounds like quite the project. You should do it and when you get it done be sure to post pictures on what it's like Facebook page I'm sure everybody would love to see it =)
Just thinking: a major the disadvantage of the steam engine was waiting for the boiler to heat up before being able to drive away. Today we have tankless water heaters that heat water instantly. What if they could do the same with a steam engine by heating only a heat exchanger with the water tank only being used as a reservoir?
White also used a condenser....but Doble's was better and took just 2 minutes to get up to steam and moving.... 10 White 10-10 (rather have the Doble next to it) 10 Locomobile

Thank you so much happy you dig this one great choices
I believe that at one point in time Stanley set land speed record of 127 mph
Nice to get a tour from the owner. I enjoyed this one thanks for uploading.
One of my favorites from this year
Stanley Steamers have always had a place in my heart. Wonderful vehicles. Too bad they never got upgraded and continued onward.
I was reading that did offer condensers later on but steam was expensive and took longer to start when the electric starter came it was over for steam
My favorite episode yet!!!😊
Happy you dig this one love the history

A very interesting car, I’m glad the owner explained how it works. Still, it would take some time to get used to operating it. But too bad they stopped making them.

Imagine making a steam var with today's tech...I wouldn't happen, because it would work.
They couldn't make a car like this now... people are eh fill in the blanks lol

I wonder how many mechanics were qualified to work on repairing the Stanley Steamer. Interestingly, J.I. Case quit building steam engines in 1924.
Awesome trivia.. it seems like there's a pretty good club support for this car. They had I think seven or eight Stanley at the Greenfield Village this year which was more than last year.
I think it helped if you were a Master Plumber, lol.

Great choice
Hahahaha yeah but of a learning curve now
Five five oh, go go go.
Now I have a very good sense but poor memory of the theory, mechanics and practical use of a steam engine. Thanks Jay.
You should do a video on the history of the steam car the last company was Sentinel in 1958!
That sounds like an epic topic for an episode one day. Thank you so much for that suggestion.
Watching this, now I know why steam went out, as it is too complicated for the average person.
1910 Locomobile Landaulette
Great choice
Great video Jay, but they always are! Nice guy to give the explanations.
