From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Victor Steam was an American automobile company started in 1899. They made steam powered vehicles.[1][2]

It had a 4 hp vertical 2-cylinder engine and single chain drive. In 1900 the Victor bicycle business was sold to the Stevens Arms & Tool Co., and for a few months Overman leased the top floor of the building to assemble Victor cars.[3]
