Baker [6] (United States) - AllCarIndex

Baker Steam Motor Car & Manufacturing Co. was an American automobile manufacturer based in Pueblo and Denver, Colorado, operational from 1917 to 1924. The company specialized in steam-powered vehicles, producing a range of models including touring cars, a roadster, and a steam truck, primarily during the early 1920s.

Despite the innovative nature of steam technology, the Baker Steam Car was noted for being more elaborate in design than practical in function. Following the cessation of steam vehicle production, the company’s expertise in steam technology continued through the development of Baker boilers, which were designed by Dr. Hartley O. Baker. These boilers found a new application as replacements for those used in Stanley cars, contributing to the legacy of steam power in the automotive industry.
