The Staver was an American automobile manufactured at 76th and Wallace Streets in Chicago, Illinois, by the Staver Carriage Company from 1907 until 1914. It was also known as the Staver Chicago or Staver-Chicago.
The company's initial offerings were 18/20 hp high wheelers, but after two years, production was turned over to conventional four-cylinder models, which came in torpedo or touring bodywork.
For 1911, Staver offered a tourer at US$1600 and a five-seat open torpedo at US$1850. By contrast, the Brush Runabout was at US$485, the high-volume Oldsmobile Runabout went for US$650, the Colt Runabout and Cole 30 at US$1500, the Oakland 40 US$1600, an FAL for US$1750, an Enger 40 US$2000, and the American's base model was US$4250.
