Cloughley Motor Vehicle Co. 1902 - 1903 Cloughley Motor Vehicle Co. Parsons, KS The Cloughley company had made an experimental steamer at Cherryvale, Kansas as early as 1896, but their production cars did not appear until 1902. They used an 8 hp 2-cylinder engine, front-mounted and driving the rear axle by chain. Steam was provided at 175 psi from a 19” water tube boiler. The only body style was a four-passenger surrey. This car was also available with a 2-cylinder gasoline engine.[1] [1] Georgano, G. N., Encyclopedia of American Automobile, (New York, E. P.
