The Delling Steamer was developed by Eric H. Delling, who had designed Mercer cars and was later associated with Stanley. Both open and closed models were shown, powered by a 2-cylinder engine of Delling design mounted, with the boiler, under the hood. Few cars were produced.[1]
In the late 1930s, Erik Delling was working in Newton, MA with William Lamken at Steam Motors, Inc.
Delling is an important figure in steam car history. He was the chief engineer for the Stanley Motor Carriage Company at one time.
The Virtual Steam Car Museum is interested in partnering with a historian who would like to write the Delling history.
See additional Delling Motors Company information in the Stewart Archive.
