The Standard was an American automobile manufactured in Butler, Pennsylvania from 1914 until 1923 by the Standard Steel Car Company.[1][2]
History
Standard Steel Car Company, whose primary business was railroad rolling stock, announced in the summer of 1913 that a new $2,000,000 factory was nearing completion for the production of automobiles. The first Standard was a six-cylinder which began limited production in early 1914. This was joined by an eight-cylinder in 1915.[3] This was a 29-hp engine of 4.6-liters and was joined by a 34-hp V-8 in 1917.[4] In 1918 both engines were replaced by a larger 5.2-liter V-8 of 70-hp.[5]
