1912 National Motor Vehicle Co. Sales Brochure, "National 40 Stock Champion"
01
Artifact Overview
From the beginning, automakers realized the promotional value in motorsports. Cars from the National Motor Vehicle Company of Indianapolis earned multiple racing victories, including one at the 1912 Indianapolis 500 with driver Joe Dawson. But this brochure was quick to point out that the National wasn't "a car made solely for speed." It was a practical automobile for everyday use too.
