My grandfather had a restoration shop back in the 60's in which he specialized in turn-of-the-century steam automobiles. He did an 1898 Malden, 1905 Ross, 1908 Stanley among others. (Probably most importantly he sowed the seeds for a passion for classic cars in me via that shop.)

Anyway, most of his cars went the way of the wind and I recently undertook a search for them. Not much luck, but I did locate the 1898 Malden. It now lives in a transportation museum in Istanbul, Turkey. How cool is that! I queried the museum director and learned the tortuous path the car took in getting there over the past decades. Quite a long way from a little country shop in Dornsife, PA, circa 1966.

Google "1898 Malden Steam car Rahmi M. Koc museum" for a view of it. If only Gramps were around to see it!

(P.S. That was also the very first car I ever drove, age 14. The old man let me pilot it when taking it for it's test demo.)

Way off topic but I raced a Jeep CJ-5 in Dornsife in 1976. Scariest hillclimb I ever did.

Cool car. When I sold cars I would drive '20s and '30s cars around London just for fun, I loved a 27 Auston "Chummy" in particular.
