Extremely nicely proportioned for a " small " car { 30 H.P. ? }. It has a remarkable resemblance to a circa 1910 Otto . The same sort

of rad setback that was a feature of Otto.

I have always found this model to be the most attractive Staver . It's different from the Owl's Head car. 

Unfortunately no known survivors. It's not a race car, but it would have used the same 35 H.P, chassis as the factory racers.

Met Shirley one evening when a buddy of mine and I went to Connie Kalitta's home. She answered the door when we rang the bell. Then she sent us out to the "shop". WOW! Engines everywhere and the body of the "BOUNTY HUNTER" Mustang funny car sitting on the snow. We got to help Mr. Kalitta work on his funny car engine. We were amazed that we got to meet either one of them. We were 17 years old and it was in about 1969.
