Description
English: This car was the first American automobile to win an international auto race. Built by the Locomobile Co. of Bridgeport, CT, it was the fastest car in the 1906 Vanderbilt Cup race, but eleven tire failures kept it from placing. The Vanderbilt was not run in 1907, but in 1908 Old 16 won the Cup, becoming the first American car to do so. The Vanderbilt Cup was America's first great international auto race. Run over the public roads on Long Island, the early races were dominated by European cars. By beating the Europeans in racing, this car demonstrated that America would be a player in the new technology of automobiles. Old 16 has never been restored, and has always been maintained in running condition.
