| 释义 |
The Porter Motor Company was an early United States automobile manufacturer based in Boston, Massachusetts.[1][2] They made the steam powered Porter Stanhope from 1900 to 1901[3] and advertised it as "The Only Perfect Automobile".[4] The light runabout featured an aluminium body and advertisements boasted a weight of 550 lbs.[5] It was capable of 25 mph,[6] and was priced at $750.[7] The magazine ad implored readers to "Write Now!" to 950 Tremont Building Boston, Mass. and "Order Now To Ensure Early Delivery". "Boiler is absolutely non-explosive and water feed automatic. It is free from all complications in its mechanism, so that an engineer is not necessary in its use."
