Grout (automobile)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Grout Brothers was a manufacturer of steam-powered automobiles in Orange, Massachusetts.
The 1904 Grout Touring Car was a touring car model. It could seat 5 passengers and sold for US$2000. The 2-cylinder steam engine was mounted horizontally at the center of the car, with the boiler at the front under the typical touring car hood. This engine produced 12 hp (8.9 kW). The car weighed 2200 lb (998 kg).
In 1904 Grout introduced a conventional 4 cylinder gasoline engined car but by then the company had financial problems and few were made.
The steamers were exported to the United Kingdom and sold under the Weston name.
