In no other country were steam powered cars as popular as they were in the U.S. Though many companies produced them, here are a few of the most popular and well known of the U.S. made steam cars...

The popular White Steamcar, president Teddy even had one for his private car. (and the radiator up front is actually a steam condensor)
Let's just say that at this stage of the game, Chevy and Ford had nothing on these guys.

Jay Leno has one of those. I thought it was pretty ccool. He took it for a spin and they can go pretty damn fast for how old they are and the horn, well it is more of a whistle, but it sounded like a damn train when he blew it.
It was so cool!
It was so cool!
