I can't recall the number of the Muster, but in 1912, the only Automobiles that were allowed to tour the Gettysburg Battle Site were Stanley steam powered busses. It was reported that they were much quieter than the Gasoline powered vehicles of the time, and the busses proved to be less "Messy" then the horse drawn carrages used previously.

Actually, the ellipse of the foreground front wheel isn't bad. What's killing it is the shading. Try yanking this into PS, put some shadow on the trailing edge of the wheel where it goes beneath the fender, and extend a shadow diagonally downward toward the viewer. The current shadow is 'in line' with the shadow of the rest of the vehicle.
aww, you can draw any machines so well... i guess being a technical drawer helps.
never seen a live Stanley Steamer myself, but i read they were pretty swift for their times, and more reliable that gasoline engines. of course, steam engines were in use for many years then.

Thanks Drake. I had to "Morph up" the grizzled old Civil War Veterans and add a "Furry" bus driver in this image as it was going into a "Furry" fanzine, but I did like how the vagueness of the characters worked out, and how each character seems to be reflecting that terrible time in their own way.

Here's an image of one of the Stanley "Mountain Wagons" in the Reno Auto Museum in Nevada. I think it's of a 1913 vintage, and once toured the Stanley Museum in Estes Park, Colorado.
