History

Fred H. Berger was the chief engineer of the Stanwood Motor Car Company.[1] The Stanwood Six was an "assembled car" with Continental 7R six-cylinder engine. Parts advertised as fitted included Stromberg Carburetor, Westinghouse starting and lighting, Grant-Lees transmission, Borg & Beck clutch, Standard Parts rear axle, Bock roller bearings, Stewart-Warner vacuum feed fuel system, Gemmer steering gear, Atwater-Kent ignition, Perfection springs and Alemite chassis lubrication system.[2][3]

Offered in the first year only as a Touring car, on a 118-inch wheelbase at $2,050 (equivalent to $31,179 in 2023), a roadster and closed sedan were added for 1922. Production was approximately 200 to 300 cars before closing in 1922.[4][1]
