    $35.00

    This photograph captures the electrifying start of the Vanderbilt Cup Race on February 27, 1914, a significant event in the world of auto racing. Taking place on the streets of Santa Monica, California, this race was one of the early milestones in the development of motorsport, drawing competitors from across the globe. With its origins dating back to 1904, the Vanderbilt Cup was named after the wealthy railroad magnate Cornelius Vanderbilt II, who aimed to promote American automotive prowess.

    The image highlights the excitement of the crowd and the cars preparing to race, showcasing the burgeoning popularity of automobiles in the early 20th century. By 1914, participation had grown to include some of the most prestigious car manufacturers, which marked a pivotal time in motor racing as it transitioned from localized competitions to an internationally recognized sport. This event not only celebrated speed and competition but also reflected the technological advances in automotive engineering of the era.
