Mystery California Alco Racer Identified
VanderbiltCupRaces.com viewers were challenged on February 6, 2012 to identify the above Alco Racer. I believe Robert Rampton of Salt Lake City, Utah has solved the mystery.
Enjoy,

Thanks, Howard.
Robert, thanks to you!
A wonderful story. Putting names to faces in old photographs is challenging but oh so rewarding. Now we can celebrate Domenich Basso’s contributions to automotive history.
Ciao Dominich ,

My 92 yr old father gave me a scrapbook of newspaper clippings from Cincinnati started before the Civil War plus a photo of a race car in an old frame. His mother, Myers, moved to Los Angeles in the early 1900′s. I did some research and believe it is an ALCO, #14 which I cannot find any info about. Any ideas?
I can’t attach the photo to show you in this comment section.
