A scene mentioned about Bugs Bunny calling the robot "a fugitive from a Stanley Steamer". The group traveled by Stanley Steamer and then by horse through Pennock Pass. He stayed with the fauns and nymphs in place of Stanley Steamer (the Gap Dragon). Stanley was probably based on and named after a Stanley Steamer, a steam-powered automobile. The Stanley Steamer was sometimes nicknamed "The Flying Teapot". A Stanley Steamer appears in the 2003 film, "Seabiscuit". The best known and best selling steam-powered car was the Stanley Steamer. The first automobile to make it to Pingree Valley was a Stanley Steamer in 1919. Ivy renamed him Stanley Steamer because the Gap Dragon can only breathe steam, not fire. It was a one-seat Stanley Steamer purchased for $900 by Dr. J.H. Linsley of Burlington.
