New England natives F.O and F.E Stanley were the proprietors of the Stanley Motor Carriage Company. The brothers manufactured steam cars for the public and funded competitive efforts. Their cars competed in land speed trials and historic races such as the Vanderbilt Cup. They set the world land speed record in 1906 at 127mph with a one off canoe shaped Stanley Steamer.
