The 1904 ''Stevens-Duryea'' was a Runabout model. It could seat 2 passengers and sold for US$ 1300. The flat-mounted water-cooled Straight-2 , situated amidships of the car, produced 7 hp (5.2 kW). A 3-speed transmission was fitted. The tubular-framed car weighed 1300 lb (590 kg). Full-elliptic Springs were used, and a 4-person version was also available. J. Frank Duryea and his brother Charles are credited with having produced the first true working automobile, the Duryea , in America in 1893. By the turn of the century, J. Frank Duryea parted from his brother to help establish the Stevens-Duryea. This was the only automobile ever produced with a five spoke steering wheel. The company went out of business in 1923.
