Thomas Pruett Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 It is interesting that the 1911 pictures of the three Metz cars are all 1912 models? The 1911's were still air cooled with the steering on the right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WCMetz Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 The 1911 Glidden Tour started on October 14th and ended October 26th. This gave companies the ability to show the 1912 models. The Metz team of three cars were driven by #15 C. H. Metz, #16 L. Cathcart, and #17 J. McGann (from 1911 The Motor World). The Metz team was disqualified for crossing a stream on horse drawn wagons.

MochetVelo Posted October 1, 2021 Author Share Posted October 1, 2021 (edited) Metz won the Glidden in 1913. Here is a photo of the team. The tourists followed along a train route through the northwest to Glacier National Park. The drivers were housed in the train after they drove during the daylight hours.
