It once belonged to Percival Lowell himself, who had it custom-built with an extra-wide backseat so his wife, Constance Lowell, could take naps in comfort during their drives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBig Red quickly became a beloved local icon in Flagstaff, and remains so today. After decades away from Mars Hill after being sold to a friend of Constance, the car was rediscovered in 1989 by a vintage auto collector named Warwick Eastwood who unknowingly owned it. He reached out to Lowell the very next day and drove it up the hill for a joyful staff reunion, which included astronomer and former mayor of Flagstaff E.C. Slipher’s son Earl Jr., who remembered playing in it as a child.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003ePercival Lowell’s cherry-red 1911 Stevens-Duryea automobile, affectionately nicknamed “Big Red” by Lowell staff, typically resides in the lobby area of the Putnam Collection Center as a display piece.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“It feels really good,” says Stoker. “We even have a Big Red team now: people who take care of it, bring it out for special events. It’s a symbol of our history, but it also connects the community in a really emotional way.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eSize: 3\" x 1.4\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LowellObservatory","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62530699395231,"sku":null,"price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0486\/6464\/1695\/files\/IMG-2348.jpg?v=1784767009","url":"https:\/\/starryskiesshop.org\/products\/big-red-sticker","provider":"StarrySkiesShop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
