That's the car that won The Great Race in 1908
"Times Square, New York; Lincoln's birthday; February 12, 1908. Six
primitive automobiles set forth on the most incredible road race of all
time. A Thomas Flyer from the United States, a Zust from Italy, a Protos
from Germany, and a Sizaire Naudin, a DeDion Bouton, and a Motobloc from
France leave Times Square in the dead of Winter braving ten foot snow
drifts and frigid weather. The story of how they survived and who won is
one of the most inspiring tales of human endurance."
