First photo is an artists rendition of the Stanley Rocket. This car made of canvas and glue set a record of 127.6 mph on Jan 23,1906. This record wasn’t broken until by a steam machine until 2009.

Does this help?
Thank you, I always thought the third car was a Cadillac but didn't have a clue on the other two

I believe the car in the middle with the hard rubber tires is a 1909/'10 Fuller!
Thanks Wayne, what about the other two?

If you have any cash lying around put in in Something you can enjoy. The dollar isn't going to be worth s--t. With all the Trillions of dollars printed to combat shutting down the country there has to be a inflationary spike in the future. We are already seeing it in commodities and food prices. Might as well have a nice Classic in the garage.

I think it makes us all very happy.
Walt, it s more than happy, it's addicting. It is the first thing I check in the morning when I turn my computer on. I am back on this thread while I sit here and eat my lunch. Can't thank you and all the posters enough!!!

Bill, as I said in the Glidden post in General Discussion we can't thank you and your team enough for the effort you put in to make this tour work. I suspect it could have been pulled off in an area that wasn't hit so hard by Covid-19. Time will tell what happens to the Central Divisional Tour. Carlisle last week end provided a glimmer of hope.

What a neat Pontiac!!!

Heartfelt thanks to Bill and his group. If you have ever helped with a tour or National meet you know the thousands of hours that went into this effort. Knowing what a mess New York State has been in regarding Covid-19 I was never optimistic that they would be able to pull it off. Again Thank You for stepping up to the plate. It sounded like a wonderful venue that we were all looking forward too. "Better Safe than Sorry", there will be a "tomorrow" My wife is laying awake at night trying to decide how to spend all the money we are saving by not traveling or eating out!!!

In 1907 Fred Marriott tried to break his own record and hit a rut in the sand at 150mph. He was injured, lost an eye and never raced again. Rumor has it that the car remains were buried in the sand on the beach only to be recovered at a later date
