The Doble steam -powered car

The Doble steam car was an American steam car maker from 1909 to 1931. Its latter models of steam cars, with fast-firing boilers and electric start, were considered the pinnacle of steam car development. The term "Doble steam car" comprises any of several makes of a steam-powered automobile in the early 20th century, including Doble Detroit, Doble Steam Car, and Doble Automobile, severally called a "Doble" because of their founding by Abner Doble.
Doble steam car - Wikipedia
Doble’s car had only 22 moving parts-11 in the engine, compared to a Stanley Steamer’s 32, and a Model T’s many hundreds of pieces. A steamer needed neither clutch nor transmission, simplifying the power train. The kerosene a Model E used to boil water burned so cleanly as to be virtually non-polluting-the only effluent was water vapour.

Abner Doble (Inventor dreamer and a bit of a con artist) John Doble (control system electrics, died too young) Warren Doble (engineer who tried to rein in Abner's wilder flights of fancy, washed his hands of it in the end) Cars would not have happened with out the three of them.
