D Binger Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 What is the car closest to the camera. The other car is the 1907 ThomasFlyer that won the New Youk to Paris Race in 1908. This picture was taken on March 8th or 9th of 1908 betweem Cheyenne, Wy and Laramie, WY. This is part of the Stemson Collection from the Wyoming State MuseumDan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1937hd45 Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 Hi Dan, The Mystery Car is an Oldsmobile, I'd like to know what the flag in the Thomas looks like, you can see a wheel in some type of logo. Do I win a new cowboy hat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D Binger Posted December 10, 2004 Author Share Posted December 10, 2004 Styeve,That cowl trim might be aluminum. The one on my 10 Overland is aluminum. Here isanother picture of the two cars.Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Binger Posted December 10, 2004 Author Share Posted December 10, 2004 Bob,I have no idea what that flag is. I wonder if it might be some local auto club. The flag is in all the pictures from the museum. Thanks for identifying the OldsDan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
