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.

Thank you Howard for bringing the ALCO. I was especially proud to present you with both a Spectator’s Choice plaque and then the Best in Show. As always you are a great crowd pleaser and your presence helped us to raise a lot of money, food, clothing, and school supplies for Hurricane Sandy victims.
I look forward to having you at more of our shows next season.

As a guess, at the L.I. Museum in Stony Brook.

Yes Howard. That car is in the Suffolk County Historical Society Museum in Riverhead. I wish I owned that car. It’s in incredible shape for its age.

It has been many, many years since I visited the Historical Society Museum in Riverhead, but I do recall a very early automobile tucked quietly away in the basement display area. I certainly cannot be sure, but I think it was an early Oldsmobile.

Hi Howard. Thanks as always for your automotive journalism. Is the location The Stonybrook carriage museum? I know it’s a stretch but I thought I’d give it a try!

the young lady, Evelyn Ericson, in the picture is my mother. Sadly, she passed away in October 2004. My grandfather was Gustaf Eric Ericson. My mother donated the gates to the Vanderbilt Musuem along with records my grandfather kept of his experiences as gatekeeper.
Thank you for this update, although it saddens me to see this small piece of history disappear.
Sincerely,
Frances Miller
