A 1913 Stevens-Duryea Model C-Six, one of only nine known survivors of this model, bodied on the shorter 131-inch wheelbase chassis and powered by a 45-horsepower six-cylinder engine with dual ignition. Finished in dark blue with gray pinstriping and black leather, the car underwent a comprehensive multi-year restoration completed in 2008 and remains in show condition.

Are you the owner of this car?

This car's public record is built from its auction and competition history. Register your ownership and privately add your own records to make it a verified Legacy Metrics passport — provenance that backs your car's value at sale and gives your insurer evidence to price against. Roy reviews and verifies every registration personally.

Each chassis record is compiled from public auction archives and links to its source material. Ownership, competition and maintenance entries are extracted from those catalogue listings by an LLM, which can make mistakes — please contact us with any corrections. The summary is Legacy Metrics’ own writing; we do not reproduce catalogue text.

“Full” and “partial” documentation labels indicate how well each entry is corroborated in the underlying sources, not an audit of the car’s physical paperwork. Names of recent or living owners are withheld for privacy.
