driven by George Robertson and sporting number 16, won the prestigious Vandebilt Cup race
on Long Island, New York, in 1908. "Old 16" is still in running condition and has never been restored.
Its dents, dings, and faded paint reflect nearly 100 years of operation.

The 1904 Vanderbilt Cup Race was the first international road race held in the United States.
Eighteen cars from France, Germany, Italy and the USA competed for William K. Vanderbilt, Jr.'s
30-pound Tiffany cup on 30 miles of public Long Island roads. George Heath representing France
won the race averaging 52.2 mph in a 90-hp Panhard. In one of the earliest sports films ever made,
the race action was captured by cameramen G.W. Bitzer and A.E. Weed of the American Mutoscope
& Biograph Company in Westbury and Plainedge. Note the last segment where 21-year-old driver
Albert Clement, Jr. was seen protesting the race to referee William K. Vanderbilt, Jr. The original
film was preserved by the Library of Congress Paper Print Collection. This edited film includes
subtitles to describe the action, cars and drivers. More information is now available at

on public roads in Santa Monica, California in 1914. The actual race was captured as the backdrop
for a Mack Sennett slapstick Keystone film "Mabel at the Wheel" later called "Hot Finish" starring
Mabel Normand, Ben Turpin, Mack Sennett and, as the villain, Charlie Chaplin. Watch the puzzled
spectators look on as Mabel and Charlie show the true meaning of "slaptick" comedy.
The 1914 race was not won by Mabel Normand but Ralph DePalma in a Mercedes.

1905 DARRACQ V8 RACER ATTEMPTING FIRST DRIVE
This is the original engine out of the 1905 Darracq although the car is a replica.
It is a V8 of over 25 Litres capacity (approx 1550 Cubic inches) used in the setting
of the land speed record of about 108MPH (174KPH) in 1905. It was last run in
the teens and then the car was sent to be scrapped. However the engine and some
of the frame was saved and is now back in running condition. This is another startup.
However, the drivetrain is so high-geared it is hard to take off. A running start is required.

WORLD'S FIRST CAR CRASH (1771)
Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot (26 February 1725 – 2 October 1804) was a French inventor. He is believed
to have built the first self-propelled mechanical vehicle. However in 1771 it crashed into the Armory
walls and was never used again. It is still preserved at the Musée des Arts et Métiers, Paris.
This bit of footage is from an old movie which "depicts" the crash as the director wished it.

THE ROLLS-ROYCE SILVER GHOSTS (1908-1925)
The Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost refers both to a car model and to one specific car from that series.
Originally named the "40/50 h.p." the chassis was originally produced at Royce's Manchester works
moving to Derby in July 1908 and between 1921 and 1926 at Springfield, Massachusetts factories.
Chassis no. 60551, registered AX 201, was the car that was originally given the name "Silver Ghost."
Other 40/50 hp cars were also given names but the Silver Ghost title was taken up by the press and
soon all 40/50s were called by the name, a fact not officially recognised by Rolls-Royce until 1925
when the Phantom range was launched. The Silver Ghost was the origin of Rolls-Royce's claim of
making the "Best car in the world" – a phrase coined not by themselves, but by the prestigious
publication Autocar in 1907. For more information go to: ANTIQUE CAR. COM

THE FIRST INDIANAPOLIS 500 RACE (May 1911)
The 1911 Indianapolis 500-Mile Race, or International 500-Mile Sweepstakes Race, the first recorded
automobile race of such distance in history, and cause for the largest public gathering in the city up
to that time, was held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Tuesday, May 30, 1911.A departure
from previous Speedway policy of holding numerous smaller racing meets during 1909 and 1910
racing seasons, the singular, large-scale event attracted widespread attention from both American
and European racing teams and manufacturers, and, despite controversy surrounding its conclusion,
proved far and away a successful event, immediately establishing itself both as the premier motorsports
competition in the nation, and one of the most prestigious in the world. See http://www.indy500.com/
