About
The six Vanderbilt Cup Races held on Long Island from 1904 to 1910 were the greatest sporting events of their day, and the first international automobile road races held in the United States. The races had a far-reaching impact on the development of American automobiles and parkways. This site provides comprehensive information on the races, the Long Island Motor Parkway and current Long Island automotive events, car shows and news.

Just incredibly beautiful. And it’s just a mere shadow of what it was during Willie K’s custodianship of it…Just imagine it in it’s prime.
Beautiful property. I remember my parents taking me as a child, touring this and other “Gold Coast” estates that were built by the 19th century industrialists. A good lesson on history and the development of our capitalist economic system which has enabled America to lift more people out of poverty than any other system. Still is the case today. We must protect it.
