The Bryan Steam Car was produced from 1918 - 1923, or more accuratey experimented upon for those five years. Bryan abandoned automobiles for steam tractors in the early 1920s. Later the Corporation abandoned tractors for internal building heating units. The Corporation remains in business to day in Peru, Indiana, where it produced its steam tractors.
Hector Halhead "Steam" Stewart was intimately familiar with the Bryan operation. This is detailed in Don Hoke's biography of Stewart, which can be purchased on the Vintage Steam Products web page.
The Bryan steam car was a handsome vehicle, its outward appearance closely resembling that of the Apperson.
Six of these 4,500 lb touring cars were produced in six years of business.[1]
Where this article appeared remains a mystery. The 1913 date is certainly incorrect, perhaps a typographical error for 1923.
