Clinton, MO -- (ReleaseWire) -- 07/20/2016 --In 1908 the "horseless carriage" was a novelty, certainly not suited for long distance travel. That would all change when the 1908 Great Auto Race from New York to Paris was run with six teams from Italy, France, Germany, and the United States.

The 1908 Great Auto Race was sponsored and organized by the NEW YORK TIMES and LA MATIN (a Paris newspaper). The torturous New York to Paris race route included: NYC, Albany, Chicago, San Francisco, Seattle, Valdez Alaska, Japan, Vladivostok, Omsk, Moscow, St. Petersburg, Berlin and Paris.

After 22,000 miles and 169 days the American Thomas Flyer and it's driver George Schuster won this historic racing event, changing forever the course of the automobile. Shuster was inducted into the Automotive Hall of Fame in 2010.
