sumac Posted August 5, 2008 Author Share Posted August 5, 2008 I really don't know. I would think he had friends that were or invested in them. He may have even owned one. I just added two more pics. I also have the executive trophy from the 1908 Vanderbilt Cup Race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Argyll Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Not that I'm expert in any way, but I remembered seeing the #2 car during my research work and this is another image of it - This is part of the text that goes with it - "In 1906 the sands of Ormond Beach, Florida ...... Fred Marriott won cleanly in the Stanley Steamer with a measured mile time of 28 1/5 second which corresponds to a speed of 127.659MPH"(Details & image from www.birthplaceofspeed2006.com/fred_marriott.htm ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
