The Long Island Motor Parkway
The first parkway built exclusively for the automobile and part of the courses for the 1908 to 1910 Vanderbilt Cup Races
Unlike the first roads built for commerce and horses, the Long Island Motor Parkway was conceived from a sporting contest; the colorful, exciting and often dangerous Vanderbilt Cup Races
