is a sharp 8 by 10 photo of Locomobile Vanderbilt cup winner Old 16. Photo was taken at either the 1954 or 1958 rerun held by the L.I.O.C.C. Picture shows car in street dress with front canvas and rear metal fenders. Winning 1908 driver George Robertson Jr. is at the wheel for the gala celebration. Rear of picture says 1954 or 1958, but I think it's 1958 as it rained like hell in 1954. I bought this photo in the 1970s when I owned a 1908 and a 1909 Locomobile and had a strong interest in the make. This photo was printed from one of the factory original 8 by 10 glass plate negatives by rail road photographer and author Ron Ziel. Two prints were made, one for me and one for Austin Clark owner of the glass plate. A rare great shot from the factory of a famous car raced in the Gordon-Bennett and also the Vanderbilt Cup trials and the 1905 race. Photo much better than the scan as imperfections are on plastic with e-Bay written on it. Low starting price with no reserve! (see photo) Please check my other items.
