1910 Stoddard Dayton Runabout Coupe
Car owned by Dale A. Lyons, Picture by Roy D. Query
The Stoddard Dayton was produced to be the finest built car of that time. The company slogan for the car was "As good as it looks". Sales soared from 125 units in 1905 to 2000 units in 1907 because of the immediate success that it enjoyed.Hard times hit the company in 1913 after a failed merger attempt with Benjamin Briscoe and production was stopped. The Stoddard Dayton Model 10-H shown here had a 108 inch wheelbase and featured a custom made runabout body with a sporty Landau roof by coach builder E. E. Denniston.
I hope that you people that enjoy seeing and reading about these old cars will spread the word about this blog site and even help me build it by sending me more pictures and stories. I am just starting it up and will be adding more cars often.
