A 40-hp White Steamer made by the White Sewing Machine Company was one of the five American entries. Seen with its driver Walter White practicing in front of financier Clarence Mackey’s 648-acre Harbor Hill estate in Roslyn, the steamer was the only steam powered car ever to compete for the Vanderbilt Cup.
