A blog about my the history, acquisition and operation of my 1911 Model 62 Stanley Steamer.

Midwest Coach & Carriage Works

I stumbled upon Midwest Coach & Carriage Works when doing some Vanderbilt Cup Car research. Although I'm not personally in the market for a new Stanley body I'm sure there are those of you out there that are.

Midwest Coach & Carriage Works is based out of Richland MI and specializes in manufacturing authentic Stanley body and frame assemblies. They are currently building bodies for the following models:

  • 1905 Model E Runabout and Light Delivery
  • 1906-08 Model EX Runabout
  • 1906-08 Model H-H5 Gentleman's Speedy Roadster
  • 1909 Model R Roadster
  • 1910 Model 60, 62 Runabout
  • 1906 Vanderbilt Cup Racer

Crafted from the finest ash and birch these bodies are historically accurate and made with state of the art technology. These bodies are clearly being manufactured for tour capable vehicles which is really excellent. They have a real first class website which is definitely worth a look even if your not in the market for a body. I could go on and on but the pictures below clearly speak for the themselves.
