Welcome To All White Gasoline Car & Truck Owners - 1910-1925

Hello, I'm Ed Minnie and the founder of this page. I hope to get the White Steam Registry here also on it's own page and linked to this one. If there is interest in bicycles, sewing machines, school furniture, and other White Company Products including tractors, we will add an area for them. Please just ask. All my best, Ed Minnie West Palm Beach Florida/Springfield Massachusetts.

Below is my 1917 White GM 7 Passenger Touring, Body by Ruby. It has 9500 miles on it. Runs and drives fine.

'23 Studebaker light six questions.

There's a Studebaker six about a 3 hour drive from me.
Appears to be a light six.
It's just a pile of parts. Appears to be a touring that's been butchered.
Looks like there's an engine, distributor, water pump, gearbox and vacuum tank.
Guy wants $500.
Someone out there must need these parts. Is it worth the trouble to go get it?

American Mercedes

Looking for info on the American built Mercedes. My understanding is that they had a factory from 1905-1907 before it burnt down. But today I stumbled upon the description of a 1913 Mercedes at MSI Chicago, witch says the factory was from 1909-1916, I assume this is an error and that the car is a import.

How many actual American made Mercedes were built? and do any survive besides the brown one owned by Mercedes-Benz?

Is There A Law That Says Reproduction Parts Have To Be Junk?

I spoke too soon about the quality of this reproduction Norton tank being decent. Inspecting it side-by-side with the original, you can see the problem. The dimensions are barely the same, the shape is barely the same. The seams are terrible. Especially that front seam. What am I supposed to do with that? I can smooth it slightly, but if I go too far, it’ll open the seam up. I have the top seam almost resembling the contour of the original after tearing into it for a straight hour with a body file. I was hoping not to use any filler on it but I don’t think I have a choice in a couple spots.

Modern Steam Control

Open this link to a modern approach to controlling a monotube generator, My brother and myself decided to have a go at a record attempt with this bike, we did 80mph and over 100mph on the dyno later, we discovered that we could do 140ish with a new generator design, then came covid and my new house build,,,, we should pick this up again soon ,probably with a younger rider now.

all controlled by a number of small plcs

Doble Piston Rings

The first of the new piston rings arrived yesterday , just unpacked them for a look, very pleased, these rings are stepped/lapped joint rather than the traditional angled cut, the idea being that there is less chance of steam leaking through this design, this is hopefully an improvement on Dobles angled cut. they are more difficult to make and therefore more expensive however unlike an ic engine that probably is always running at 500rpm and above the steam engine is direct drive and runs full pressure on piston from 0 rpm, steam leakage at low speed hopefully will be improved with these

Duesenberg Oil Change

Getting ready for a tour and figured I’d change the oil using  “The Edgar Technique”.  I use NAPA fleet oil 40w - that I get in 5 gallon buckets and this handy pouring spout.  Let the comments begin!

A Perfect Fall Driving Day

It was 10 out of 10 October weather for a drive today. This is why I put 1,000 miles on this car during the fall last year. Best time of the year for taking the long way everywhere.

Please disregard the dirty windshield and rattling shock absorber links. Both are on my list.
