Just trying to help out. . .

We found this handsome red and black Stanley Steamer on Google Images.
Cardinal Red and Black, just like Stanley's.
Upon seeing that her brother has just acquired a new car, Sosie was quick to offer some ideas about where to drive it. . . just for fun.

She writes:

Stanley's Lincoln
Do you know about FO Stanley, the Stanley Steamer, his hotel in Estes Park, and its inspiration for The Shining (Stephen King)? Just thinking it might be a future road trip stop in your new car... supposedly a mint condition Stanley Steamer is kept at the hotel, but I am not finding verification of that on the Internet, trusty truthteller of all things.

Anyway, pictures of 1909 hotel and short story of Stanley at http://grandheritage.com/stanley.htm  See a bunch of SSs gathered in 2009 at the Stanley Hotel on this youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipSKUvWX-I

Kind of fun! Happy travels to you, Stanley!
