The Neustadt Automobile & Supply Company of St. Louis provided parts and supplies for a large variety of early automobiles, including steam cars.
This company made a variety of cars with
gasoline and steam engines. The steamers were made from 1902 – 1905 only, and
were powered by 10 hp 2-cylinder vertical engines mounted under the rear seat
and driven by single chain.[1]
As late as 1905, the Company's advertising mentioned steam car parts, but apparently not thereafter. As late as 1911, the Company was still promoting its goods. The Company's prodigious catalogues may have carried steam car parts, but not its media advertising.
