The 1910 White Roars to Life


It was a special Flag Day at the National Automobile Museum. Hootin' and hollerin' galore. Flags were waving but it was the Starting Flag that created a stir this day as opposed to Old Glory.

After multiple years of hibernation the 1910 White Touring car roared back to life again. Jay Hubbard, Automotive Collections Manager, Al Abrahamson and a select group of volunteers rebuilt the large displacement four cylinder engine to re-commission the open touring car.

After several pulls on the crank and a few adjustments, the '10 White lit off in a billow of smoke and then settled in a loping idle. Vital signs were checked and the car was driven out of the garage and into the light of day. Hooray!
