Kidder (steam automobile company)

Inventor Wellington P. Kidder experimented with steam cars and established the Kidder Motor Vehicle Company in New Haven to produce them.^[2]

Kidder Model 2 was a $1,000 runabout and Model B was a $1,600 delivery wagon. The twin cylinders of its motor were placed on each side of the boiler at the back of the vehicle with direct drive to the rear axle.^[2]

In 1903 the company voted to discontinue its corporate existence.^[2]
