What is a Stanley valued at?
Originally a Stanley was considered a luxury car and commanded prices at the upper end of the market. Today, the question is best answered by simply stating that “just as beauty is in the eye of the beholder, the “worth” of a Stanley lies in value the owner (and perhaps the individual that is trying to buy one) has for the particular car in question.” The ultimate value of a Stanley is now determined not only from its originality (there are Stanley reproduction cars available), but the rareness of the model in question (condensing models seems to be more plentiful than selected non-condensing models), and the overall condition and drivability of the car. Intrinsic factors such as the owner’s values in the use he intends for the automobile as well as the owner’s interest in preserving a portion of our American automotive heritage also play a big factor in determining the value of a particular Stanley. A price range of $50,000 to $500,000 is not unreasonable in the 21st century depending
