It all started way way back in February 1908. At the time, six automobiles lined up in New York’s Times Square and had intentions of racing from New York to Paris. This was billed as the Great Automobile Race. The lead car for a good portion of the race was the now famous 1907 Thomas Flyer, Model 35, built in Buffalo, NY. The car had some 70hp coming from a stock four cylinder engine, but saddled with an extra large fuel tank, spare tires and running boards.
