GIS turns up this veteran Flyer.

From what info I've gathered, Thomas was also made in Detroit from 1906-08, occupying the former Michigan Match factory on Harper and Dequindre, which was later bought by Chalmers and became Chalmers-Detroit.

I posted a photo of a 1907 Thomas-Detroit that I found in an archive at OCF page 16

Hi, Tom...

The AACA Library & Research Center retains thousands of categorized research material.

<img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Well worth your while to see what has been collected, donated, catalogued, and, professionally maintained by the AACA's full-time librarian and staff.

(Click on "Resources" at the top of this page and then "AACA Library".)

There are a few pictures on our site The Great Auto Race 1908 | In the Beginning but there are a lot more in the film we made The Greatest Auto Race on Earth. We spent 8 years researching and making the film. We found over a 1000 original photos in an attic in Buffalo, several hundred Alaska/Indiana pictures in a show box in Las Vegas, and then another couple of hundred from other researchers in Europe. They were all carefully scanned at 600 DPI to discs. Our originals are now in the hands of an archivist and photo specialist to preserve them. Oh, we even found the trophy given to Schuster in San Francisco, and the trophy given to Koeppen in Moscow. Cheers. Michael.
