    The Classic Car Magazine: The Wallis Bird Estate Classics

    The Fall 2020 issue of The Classic Car magazine featured nine classic cars from the Wallis Bird Estate in an article by Chris Summers. All nine classics were sold at the 1962 "Car Auction of the Century" at the Farnesworth  Garage in Locust Valley.

    In Search of H. Dieter Holterbosch and his W.C. Bird’s Duesenberg

    In 1962 H. Dieter Holterbosch purchased W.C. Bird's 1931 Duesenberg Speedster at the "Car Auction of the Century" on Long Island. I thought it would be fun to find out more about H. Dieter and what ever happened to his Duesenberg.

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.
