SUPER- SUPER RARE AS ONLY TWO WERE CUSTOM BUILT FOR THE HOTEL IN 1956. SOME CARS WERE ALSO MADE IN 1955 AND 1959 FROM WHAT WE HAVE BEEN TOLDTHESE CARS WERE USED TO TRANSPORT PEOPLE TO PIKES PEAK AND LOCAL TOURIST ATTRACTION AND PROBABLY BACK AND FORTH TO THE AIRPORTSTHESE WERE REGISTERED AS A BUS FROM WHAT WE WERE TOLD. THIS BEING BECAUSE THEY CAN HOLD MORE THAN 10 PASSENGERSIT IS A 4 DOOR. THE REAR DOORS ARE VERY WIDE AND YOU CAN ACCESS 2 ROWS OF SEATS AND THE THIRD ROW HAS A FOLDING SEAT THAT FLIPS FORWARD TO GAIN ACCESS TO THE REAR SEAT. SUPPOSEDLY THESE ORIGINALLY WERE PAINTED WITH MANDAN RED ROOFS BUT SOMEWHERE EARLY IN LIFE THEY REALIZED THAT IT BROUGHT TO MUCH HEAT INTO THE CAR SO THEY REPAINTED THEM PECOS BEIGE. THE 4 LARGE PLEXI-GLASS PANELS IN THE ROOF ARE A VERY UNIQUE CONCEPT FOR THE CAR. GREAT FOR SIGHTSEEING. PLEASE COME AND TRY TO SEE THE CAR YOURSELF. THE CAR IS NOW LOCATED IN NORTH CENTRAL IOWA.
