The challenge to drive from Peking, China (modern day Beijing) to Paris, France in 1907, using totally untested automobiles, was taken up by five men:
- Prince Scipione Borghese, accompanied by his mechanic Ettore Guizzardi. They were further accompanied by Italian journalist Luigi Barzini, Sr.
- Charles Goddard, accompanied by journalist Jean du Taillis.
- Auguste Pons and Octave Foucault, his mechanic.
- Georges Cormier.
- Victor Collignon.

On the 30th of August, twenty days later, the Spyker, followed by the two De Dions, arrived in Paris. Charles Goddard wasn’t behind the wheel of the Spyker; due to money-troubles, he wasn’t able to finish the race! But his car won second place and that was probably good enoughfound on http://scheong.wordpress.com/2010/02/25/peking-to-paris-the-original-amazing-race/

The California Shaker

I think the pinstriping design is great, but the humor of painting on a keyhole is terrific

The Don Lee Special

Dual friction shock absorbers... I've never seen another car with them that I can recall


All these bolts appear to be used as possible weight holding locations, I've never seen this technique. The other wheels all had their weights on one bolt like this as well
