Vanderbilt Cup Races

Rick’s nose was broken often. It got spread way out following the Eastern flight 21 crash in 1941.

From Another Vanderbilt Cup Race Mystery: Was Eddie Rickenbacker the Mechanician in this 1906 Photo?

I’ve run out of time and officially giving up!

I’ll just throw out a guess here and say that the man on the right looks like Louis Chevrolet in the passenger seat of a De Dion-Bouton in 1900/1901.

The man on the left? Another stab in the dark and I’ll guess maybe A.R. Pardington?

Howard, the 1938 time period, the picture supplied was great, just need the next shot to the east.

Thanks

This has nothing to do with car shows, but it might be some kind of iimportance to some of you. It’s the 50th Anniversary of the Vietnam War. There’s a story about it in the Daily Press and if you would like to share your story, if you were involved in it contact military reporter All Rockett at 757-247-4942 or .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address). I thought that I should pass this on. I’m a Vietnam Vet

My grandfather helped design and work on cars in the Locomobile plant in
Bridgeport.  Just found (in my father’s collection of National Geographic) a full
back page ad in the May 1918 issue.

Love this thanks!

From Fortune Magazine, June 1932: A Portfolio of Aerial Photographs by Captain Alfred G. Buckham

I wonder what type aircraft was used to take these remarkable photographs. I also wonder if Fairchild Aerial Cameras were used to take them. Perhaps the 1932 Fortune magazine might have some information about this.

Leroy, the article does not reference his plane or camera.
It looks like Buckham used his own 1915 aerial camera:

I ordered the book “A Vision of Flight” to see more photos and information.

Gotcha, this time, Howard!  This has been on my LI page 3, http://sbiii.com/longis-3.html#liautomf, since at least 2003!  That’s Hal Fullerton at the right, our boy, Arthur Pardington at the left, and F. G. Webb in back, taken by Hal on Jan 6th,  1901.  The auto was the first built by the Long Island Motor Vehicle Company and this was it’s test drive.  Supporting documents from the back of the photo or a copy are on my web page.  Click on my image for a huge 8” x 10” copy.  Sam, III

All I can say about this one is the the car was built about 1830, I think it’s electric powered and I recognize one of the two people,a driver in the Vanderbilt Cup Races,but can’t name him. I tried anyway

Congratulations on best of show, there’s no doubt that you would win something, being you were the only one like it, you have to win with that car at every show you go to. Weather here is a little better now high 80s low 90s, but humid

Howard, any suggestions on locating the aerial I am searching for?

Thanks

What years are you looking for?

From Then & Now: The Motor Parkway Office in Garden City

Congratulations Howard on your Mustang III winning Best in Show at the Mustang Show at the Levittown Ford on Sunday. Bob and I stopped by and saw all the Mustangs at the show and we looked for you but did not see you in the crowd as they were announcing all the various winners in each catagory, but saw your 2 Mustang cars: the Shelby Mustang and the Mustang III that you won Best in Show for. Congratulations again on Winning Best in Show.

From Highlights from the Third Annual Mustang Showdown

Howard:  Great article on your Chrysler in Classic Car Magazine.  I was glad to see at the end you gave credit to the Greater New York Region’s show.  As a member of the committee it was nice to see our show in class with the other great shows in the United States.  Congratulations you did a fantastic job on the restoration, and I am sure you are proud to be a member of the Greater New York Region AACA.  Artie Finnegan.  Also Walter did a great article on the Chrysler also.

Dear Howard,
Thank you for going with ConstantContact; I stopped receiving email notifications each week. I was 16 y/o when the 1964 and 1/2 Mustang came out. I was a passenger in a convertible one in August of 1964 when I was working at a summer camp. What a ride. It felt like a race car. From what I remember, a 289 V8. Roy Warner. Boca Raton, FL.

omg,was I wrong,but it looked so much like a Long Island race,I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who thought it was L.I.,Michael thought it was too

From Mystery Foto #29 Solved: The 1908 Briarcliff Trophy Race

This might be the 240 mile Briarcliff Trophy Race held on April 27, 1908 in Briarcliff, NY. If so, then the #12 car is a Thomas driven by Montague Roberts and the #20 car is a Benz with Erwin Bergdoll at the wheel.

From Mystery Foto #29 Solved: The 1908 Briarcliff Trophy Race

As I said before I do remember this,but confused where and what race it was.In searching,my best guess would be the Sweepstakes Race 1908,Woodbury Turn and it was held in Levittown
