Vanderbilt Cup Races

The tiny nation of Tuvulu (the fourth smallest) honored the history of automobiling by issuing its "Leaders of the World" (LOW) series of automobile related stamps including the 1909 Alco.  But . . .

. . . its been written that the stamps were flawed and were produced by others wishing to take advantage of Tuvulu's (and other small nation's) lack of a knowledgeable stamp industry.   Read more about the scheme here if you are interested - my objective here is just to display the LOW series and other nation's use of automobiles on stamps.
