The six Vanderbilt Cup Races held on Long Island from 1904 to 1910 were the greatest sporting events of their day, and the first international automobile road races held in the United States. The races had a far-reaching impact on the development of American automobiles and parkways. This site provides comprehensive information on the races, the Long Island Motor Parkway and current Long Island automotive events, car shows and news.

Wow! wow, wow, wow, I credit Howard with an enormous percentage of the sale amount due to his devotion to and publicizing the ALCO and its place in our history. Nice!
Wow, what a gorgeous car! It’s almost as valuable as my ‘59 Studebaker.

My big question is—-who bought the wonderful piece of Alco history—-does it come to Long Island?????
The Alco touring car is beautiful. I will try to find out who bought it.
