  1. I need a White Steam Car Grease Gun. If you have a duplicate that is for sale, please let me know. This is the image from the White parts catalogue. Would someone be willing to lend me one to reproduce? Yes, I'll be looking at Hershey! Thanks very much! Don Hoke
  2. Good Morning! I am a historian of technology. I had steam car disease in high school but could not afford it. 15 years ago, we bought our first Stanley, The BettyAnne, and we have enjoyed her immensely. Researching her took us to New Zealand and resulted in a biography of Hector Halhead "Steam" Stewart. I am now researching a book on the White Steam Car. Now that I understand Stanleys, I would love to experience the White steam car. 1907 - 1910, a car with a Flowmotor. I am particularly interested in Rollin White, who was a professionally trained engineer - Sibley College - with a background in machine tool and bicycle manufacturing. He was in France in the 1890s installing ball bearing machinery and almost certainly made contact with Serpollet. Let me know if you find a White for sale! Very best wishes!

  3. Wanted: White Steam Car, 1907 - 1910, with Flowmotor. I am writing a White Steam Car book with a focus on Rollin White who invented the Flowmotor and the steam generator White used. We've owned seven Stanleys, including our 1925, The BettyAnne.
  4. I am researching the Rollin Motors Company of Cleveland, OH, ca: 1922 - 1926. Apparently, Rolls Royce sued Rollin for trademark infringement about 1923 - 1924. This is a story I've been told, but I cannot document it. Do any of the Rolls Royce experts out there know about this? The image of Rollin's logo comes from a 1923 trade catalogue. This is part of the book I am writing about the White Steam Car. Rollin White invented the flash steam generator used in the White Steam Car, then in later life created the Rollin. Thank you very much.
  5. For Sale: Weed Bumper. Excellent original condition. Weighs about 35 pounds, 5' long, with mounting brackets. $450.00 FOB Dallas, TX
  6. Does anyone have an original of this image? Ormond / Daytona Beach, Third International World Championships January 23 - 28, 1905. The photo credits "The Museum of Speed," but this organization no longer exists. Any help greatly appreciated. I am writing a book on the White Steam Car. Thanks very much!

  7. Vintage Steam Products did not get the surveys. Please send again. Thank you. I strongly believe Hershey 2020 should proceed this fall. If some people decide not to come, I respect their decisions. But by by October, we'll know so much more about COVID 19 and how to deal with it. There should be no problem keeping a "social distance" from people.
  8. For Sale: Two Double Row Ball Bearings. Measurements: OD 98 MM = 3.842" ID 50 MM = 1.965" Wide 30 MM = 1.180" Excellent Condition. I put them in the rear end of my 1925 Stanley Steam Car, not realizing I needed sealed bearings! They have less than 20 miles on them. They fit easily into the Stanley rear end, no pressing! One bearing marked: "USA 22 285A" One bearing marked: "WRC 3210 M USA 20 311D" Retail Cost at Motion Industries in Dallas, TX $108.63 each. Ship UPSP Small Flat Rate Box. $7.50
  9. Desperately Need Five Yards of Olive Green Mohair. Same as Hirsch 144-G to finish 1925 Stanley Restoration. The first upholsterer wasted . . . NEVER MIND! If you have as much as a yard, It would be a tremendous help. Thank you. I've attached the old Hirsch Mohiar sample card. He no longer carries the 144-G. Call Don Hoke or contact through VIntage Steam Products or the Virtual Steam Car Museum.
  10. Good Morning. This car sold about 18 months ago. Thanks for inquiring. I am looking for a White Steam Car.
  11. Good Morning, Larry! I have indeed contacted the AACA Library. Chris Ritter and his staff do an exceptional job. I've used the library on numerous occasions. Chris has things meticulously organized, highly professional. I cannot wait for the new facility to open in a few years.
  12. Good Afternoon, Auto Literature Collectors and Libraries! I am finishing a booklet about a lady sitting in a Locomobile in front of a Syracuse, NY, fountain in 1900. See attached image. A very good friend and Locomobile expert sent me a photocopy of a 1900 Locomobile trade catalogue that was distributed by the Syracuse Automobile Company, which sold this locomobile. See attached images. Does anyone know where the original brochure is located? Is it in a library or private collection? I don't want to buy it, but just get high quality scans of the original brochure. Thanks very much! Best wishes! Don Hoke

  14. Thank you! I knew there were Cadillac Experts who would know. Best wishes! Don Hoke The Virtual Steam Car Museum, Inc.
  15. Thank you all so very much for your help. Wonderful information. Who knew about Canada shifting to right side driving in 1921! OK, now the tough question: What is the name of this horse? Just kidding! Very best wishes! Don Hoke The Virtual Steam Car Museum, Inc. horses_04_front_1909_08_august_24.tif
