William K. Vanderbilt, an early motorist and racer brought high-level competitive motorsports to America in 1904 when he established the Vanderbilt Cup Races in 1904. At that time because of earlier development, foreign cars were superior to most automobiles manufactured on these shores. The first American-made car, to win a Vanderbilt Cup race, was the Locomobile in 1908. Willy K., as he was known, was an advocate of the foreign car early on and favored the Mercedes for his personal racing activities. Photo: 1907 35-45 HP Renault
