<HTML>Our company will soon be managing the sale of a 1928 Stanley Steamer Limo. We are looking for places to find specifications, and information on this rare and beautiful car.
We are doing background reasearch, and trying to get early ownership info as well.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
L.C.</HTML>

<HTML>Dear L.C., Before you start advertising the Stanley for sale, find out for sure what year you have. To advertise your Stanley as a 1928 would scare a lot of buyers off. The Last year of production for the Stanley was 1926. Maybe your Stanley was left over stock that was finally sold in 1928, and that is the year that your local licensing agency identified it as. As Ben said, check out your vehilcles VIN to find out it's date of manufacture.</HTML>

<HTML>There are no 1928 Stanley's in existance as the last car to be built by Stanley under Steam Vehicle Corp. was 1927. There was a few Springfield Limo's built in 1923. I would guess your car is one of them.

<HTML>This is Jim Jones' 740 sedan. It has a foot rest in the rear, but no divider.
I got to play with this car on a few occasions before Jim's fatal highway accident
