Nelson M. Davis Driving 1928 Mercedes Benz in Tenth Annual Glidden Tour, Canada, 1955
01
Artifact Overview
The original Glidden Tours, sponsored by AAA from 1904-1913, promoted both automobiles and road improvements. AAA and the Veteran Motor Car Club of America revived the annual tours in 1946 for owners of vintage automobiles. This time, the focus was more on pleasure than promotion. Participants often dressed in period costume, and they staged impromptu car shows along the way.
