The Runabouts were wheel steered and equipped with air cooled single cylinder engines.

In 1905 Joseph French changed the company name to The St. Louis Motor Car Co. and move it to Peoria, Illinois with hopes of expansion. Unfortunately the firm's chief engineer George P. Dorris chose to remain in St. Louis, MO to begin his own automobile company.

It was equipped with a four cylinder vertical under the hood water cooled engine that developed 32-36 horsepower. The transmission was a sliding type with three speed forward and reverse. Features included spark and throttle control, bevel gear drive, brakes, 110 inch wheelbase, speeds of 4 to 50 miles per hour and a pressed steel frame. The 1906 St. Louis was beautifully finished, luxuriously upholstered and fully equipped for $2,500.00.
