Wanted: White Steam Car, 1907 - 1910, with Flowmotor

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.

Why's it gotta be white?

[1925Stanley]

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!
