Peter Gariepy Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 The very first car to exceed 100 mph in the U.S. was a 1904 Napier Samson L48 with a 15-liter, six-cylinder gas engine under the hood. Driven by British mechanic Arthur Macdonald, the Napier set a world record for breaking the 100 mph barrier in January 1905, clocking in at 104.651 mph. https://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/enthusiasts/america-s-first-car-to-exceed-100-mph-is-headed-to-auction-it-ll-fetch-over-1m/ar-BB1i5Dqc?ocid=hpmsn&cvid=1cb72454949f4359bbc34870311e1550&ei=89#fullscreen Is the car in tucson AZ?
