Description
Title supplied by cataloger.
View of a blurry automobile with its unidentified driver, as it races down the street of the Santa Monica Road Race with a multitude of spectators lining the street. The vehicle cannot be verified, but may likely be similar to the 120 H.P. Fiat Garry, in which Teddy Tetzlaff won that year. The Santa Monica road races lasted for 10 years. Photograph dated May 4, 1912.
