<HTML>Hello. I know little about Stanley Steamers, but.....
I am opening a museum that will feature cars of every era, and it seems to me that it cannot be complete without a Stanley Steamer. I have been to the Stanley Hotel numerous times and admired the cars in Estes Park. And the car is historically significant. So...I'm looking for help. Here is what I hope to find:
1. Info about which cars are most desirable to own. Models, years, etc.
2. Info about values.
3. Just the right car for the museum...either to buy or to display for someone who would like to have their car placed in a museum setting.
THANK YOU! I hope to get educated.</HTML>

<HTML>Hi Phil, I hope that you will use your Stanley aquisitions for actual use. Stanleys do not like to sit in museums at all. They are "Runners" and not ment to be admired. Take them out and enjoy them, or they will rust solid and the termites will turn them to dust!.
