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!
