Recorded originUnited States
ClassBrass-era passenger or light commercial automobile; experimental steam car
Power12 hp
Distinct late Covert commercial vehicle, not a delivery body on the single-cylinder Model A. MoToR's 1907 national directory specifies a 1,000 lb payload, 1,500 lb vehicle weight, 84-inch wheelbase, 56-inch tread, 32 x 2-inch tyres, full-elliptic springs, cellular radiator, jump-spark battery ignition and screen-sided express body. The same $1,000 vehicle was still advertised in December 1907. It proves that Covert's final vehicle program included a purpose-built opposed-twin delivery car even as passenger-car manufacture ended.

How this is measured → This record contains useful sourced evidence, but it does not yet meet the reference-ready standard. Still needed: attributed imagery. Fields we cannot source stay empty rather than guessed.
Research notes
A period catalog and advertisement prove a commercial offer, but no build total, customer ledger or survivor is known.
