<HTML>Looking at the photo of the 10 hp touring, my guess is that it once belonged to the late Bob Edwards of Phoenix, Arizona. It looks just like his did. When Bob Edwards died, a lumberman bought both his Mobile steamer, his Stanley touring and his car trailer. That was almost seven years ago. I didn't think that the touring had gone out of the country. Maybe it isn't the same car?
