PRINT #1 - THE CONTRAPTION WORKS!

Measures:  231/4 inches Long by 13 1/4 inches Tall

This is a high quality print by famed artist - James B. Deneen

On thanksgiving day in 1895, Charles and Frank Duryea won what was doubtlessly the first auto race in the US.  Competing against other vehicles over a 56-mile course in Chicago and in 6 inches of snow, their two year old 2-cylinder, gas powered, chain driven "motor wagon" gave them the j$2,000 first place prize.  The vehicle averaged 7 1/2 miles an hour, but owing to breakdowns it took the Duryeas nearly 10 1/2 hours to complete the 56 miles (obviously, the other contestants suffered breakdowns too).  Long live the motor wagon! 

AUTOMOTIVE AMERICA

1976 America’s bicentennial and TRW’s 75^th Anniversary

 

 

Even before the Duryea brothers proved that the “horseless carriage” would work, Americans were fascinated with the automobile.  The automobile not only changed the landscape of the world, it became an economic star around which entire new industries were born and drawn into orbit.

 

AUTOMOTIVE AMERICA tells this story of the auto and its tremendous impact on man.

 

 

Produced in 1976
