The Brecht Motor Car Corp. built both steam car and electric cars at their factory in St. Louis. The four passenger Dos-a-Dos show below was equipped with a five horsepower two cylinder vertical double acting reversible engine.
1904 Brecht Steam Car The boiler held 402 copper tubes with a heating area of 60 square feet and had a working pressure of 210 psi. Water and gas tanks held 38 and 7 ½ gallons. The Brecht weighted in at 1,100. The Brecht Motor Car Corp. also offered for sale just running gear and bodies suitable for both steam and electric motors. In 1903 the firm was forced to sell due a lack of capital. H. F. Borbein and Company purchased the complete stock of steam cars, parts, tools and machinery.
