History
History
Inventor Wellington P. Kidder experimented with steam cars and established the Kidder Motor Vehicle Company in New Haven to produce them. 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. In 1903 the company voted to discontinue its corporate existence.
