1912 Stower Car Stands Five Generations

1912 Stower Car Stands Five Generations

There's a very old car called the 1912 Stower that will be in a special car show called The Statesman Vintage and Classic Car Rally.

This car is special because it's the oldest one in the show and it runs on kerosene, not petrol.

The first owner was a man named Ishwar Chunder Chowdhury, who wanted a Ford Model T but decided on the Stower because it was better for the roads in his area.

The car has been in his family for five generations and is still used today.

It has some unique features like spotlights instead of regular headlights and a duck figurine on the radiator that helps the driver know when the car is too hot.

The car company that made it, Stower, is no longer around, making this car one of a kind.
