ALCO Automobile Chassis, 1910-1911
01
Artifact Overview
American Locomotive Company (ALCO) was best known for the steam and diesel-electric railroad locomotives it built from 1901 until 1969. But the company also manufactured automobiles from 1906 to 1913. Ironically, ALCO never produced a steam-powered car, relying instead on gasoline-fueled internal combustion engines. Harry Grant won the Vanderbilt Cup with an ALCO race car in 1909 and 1910.
