The Shining: Trading Card #242

Here's number three in my ongoing series of trading cards for The Shining. You can see all of them on this page.

A short note about the card's title: the vehicle shown in the still is actually a Snow-Trac (manufactured by AB Westeråsmaskiner in Sweden), and not a Sno-Cat (manufactured by Tucker Sno-Cat Corporation in nearby Medford, Oregon), which is how Stuart Ullman refers to the vehicle in the film. Tucker is still in business and is responsible for the term "snowcat" becoming eponymous with a large vehicle that travels through the snow. Another Sno-Cat competitor, a Thiokol Imp, is also shown in a later scene in which Hallorann attempts to rescue Wendy and Danny from The Overlook.
