The Story of the 1912 New York to Paris Race
The story of the 19 o eight new york to paris race is such a cracker as well. This bloke was trying to keep the car going, but he wasn't rewarded with anything other than a promise of guaranteed employment with the thomas motor company. And that ended up being about four years, because even after this monumental victory, the thomasMotor Company went under in 19 12. That's whall she wrote to day vane. Love getting these ridiculous stories from history to dissect on the podcast. I hope you've enjoyed it.
