The Staver was an American automobile manufactured at 76th and Wallace Streets in Chicago, Illinois,[1] 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.[2] By contrast, the Brush Runabout was at US$485,[2] the high-volume Oldsmobile Runabout went for US$650,[3] the Colt Runabout and Cole 30 at US$1500,[4] the Oakland 40 US$1600,[5] an FAL for US$1750,[2] an Enger 40 US$2000,[2] and the American's base model was US$4250.[6]
