Bryan Steam Car
The Bryan Steam Car[1] was an American steam car manufactured from 1918 until 1923.[2]
Background
[edit]The car was produced by Bryan Steam Motors of Peru, Indiana, a company which built mainly steam-driven tractors [3][4] and trucks. The company was founded by George A Bryan, who had been employed by the Santa Fe Railroad, working his way up from engine wiper to chief inspector.[2] Bryan adapted the superheating system used in locomotives to small engines for cars and tractors.[2] A total of six vehicles, all touring cars, were built under this badge; most, if not all, were intended for company officials.
Bryan Steam LLC still exists at 783 N. Chili Ave, Peru Indiana. Makers of BRYAN Boilers. https://bryanboilers.com/
A sports sedan was announced for 1921, but never materialized.[2]
