vermontboy Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Envelope advertising the International Horse and Horseless Carriage and Roads Locomotion Exhibition in London in 1896. Apparently damaged in the mails and received at the New York Post Office without contents. There are probably earlier shows including horseless carriages but this is an early one.

JV Puleo Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 I don't think so... it was long dormant and was revived in the 30s by a newspaper as an advertising stunt called the "Old Crocks Run." Eventually, it was taken over by the Veteran Car Club who are responsible for the event we see today but in its present form, it only dates from about the late 40s or early 50s.

8E45E Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Actually, it was revived in 1927. I thought it only during the war years it may have got interrupted. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
