Background

The car was produced by Bryan Steam Motors of Peru, Indiana, a company which built mainly steam-driven tractors [3][4] and trucks. The company was founded by George A Bryan, who had been employed by the Santa Fe Railroad, working his way up from engine wiper to chief inspector.[2] Bryan adapted the superheating system used in locomotives to small engines for cars and tractors.[2] A total of six vehicles, all touring cars, were built under this badge; most, if not all, were intended for company officials.
