It is important to note that Locomobile also built another race car in 1905. A Mr Harold Thomas from Chicago, Illinois commissioned the car to be built. It was raced by Locomobile in 1905. It had a T head motor while the two 1906 cars had F head motors. I did some research into the three cars and posted my findings on the AACA Forums under Locomobile and then “What car is this?” The three cars were confused in history and I had a difficult time discerning between the three.

Interesting bit of trivia, The electric car referenced by the article posted by Brian McCarthy above was built by Andrew Riker. I don’t believe the article states that fact. That vehicle still exists today and is in private hands. Neat, neat, stuff.

Another super picture of Krug’s Corner.  Jericho Tpke & Willis Ave.  Looks like Memorial Day Weekend.

By the way, that Rodizio place with the Green Awning in the present photo, is an excellent place to eat if you’re into red meat.

Fantastic Foto Howard! This is Krug’s Corner Hotel and bar (1890s - 1920s), world renowned pivotal point for viewing the Vanderbilt Cup Races of 1904, 05, 06, 08, 09, and 10 of early Long Island. Krug’s location today is at the same intersection of Willis Ave and Jericho Tpke (photo below). The mystery photo photographer is looking NW, with the Jericho Tpke in the foreground, while standing in the middle of Willis Ave, just south of Jericho Tpke (photo below with tire tracks). Based on the cars, this shot was likely taken in the 1910s, along with the removal of the 2nd floor window awnings of Krugs Hotel. I don’t know the cars; anticipating this week’s answers. 5 of 6 of the cars have start-up handles in the front end. Was one an electric start car? I don’t know? Great mystery!

Yes! And he was widely known for unexpectedly breaking into an upbeat rendition of The Candyman during Locomobile board meetings…

Knew you’d come up with something Art!
Personally, I’m seeing some similarities between the shape of his head, ears and sideburns. I’m leaning towards it being Sammy in the seat next to Tracey…

Art, this is great! I wonder if his friends called him Sammy Davis, Jr.?
