Original 7-Page Typed Journal of a Trip from New York to California and Back in 1936.

193674698N.p.: N.p. 1936. A very interesting record of a cross-country automobile trip in 1936. Original typed document of 7 pages mounted on six sheets of a heavier stock. The journal pages are in fine condition but the backing paper has some edge chipping.In 1936 this was a formidable excursion; unreliable cars bad roads xenophobia and many other hazards presented themselves to the driver on this voyage. The party consisted of five travelers; Rev. and Mrs. A. D. Deyo and their daughter Eleanor and the Rev. and Mrs. George D. Wood. It must have been a commodious vehicle. We never learn which of these people wrote this diary but we do know it was one of the men as their are frequent quips such as "The women went swimming." They all took turns driving. They left Napanoch NY on July 27th and right from the very start they had problems; in Napanoch they had to get a push from a good Samaritan. On the 3rd day they were in Ohio and the writer comments on seeing signs "Communism Will Not be Tolerated" and "Ku Klux Klan Rides Again." Car trouble again on that day. In Kansas he notes that locusts have completely stripped the fields. By the seventh day they were in New Mexico where they visited Las Animas and stayed in an adobe cottage in Taos. On the ninth day they visited cliff dwellings in Arizona and the Grand Canyon where two of the party descended into the canyon on horseback. Finally by the twelfth day they were in Barstow California. He notes in pencil that they had driven 3445 miles in 12 1/2 days. A voyage made excessively long by frequent car problems. They spent the next 12 days in the Southern California area visiting friends and fishing. They even went down to Tiajuana and Agua Caliente. Surprisingly they did not visit San Francisco or Yosemite. They started their return trip on 8/27 from San Bernardino. They went through Bryce Canyon and Salt Lake City. Wyoming Nebraska Illinois Ohio and finally home. For each day the author notes the mileage sights seen restaurants and accommodations.They visited numerous reservations along the way likely to check on their co-religionists. They also must have been somewhat young as they often stayed at AAA campgrounds. The AAA is frequently mentioned; repair shops campgrounds hotels restaurants. The frequency of car problems is astounding. On a separate smaller sheet the writer listed all their expenses for the trip and other statistics. For example; the car got 16.8 miles to the gallon and the average cost of gas was 20.7 cents per gallon N.p. unknown

Scrapbook of an African-American Family’s 1947 Road Trip from New York Through Quebec’s Gaspé Peninsula

1947List2905United States and Canada 1947. Eleven double-sided scrapbook pages measuring 7 x 11 inches containing forty-five 2 ½ x 3 ½ inch photographs six postcards four maps four guides and nine typed pages. Scrapbook pages fragile with significant marginal damage; scrapbook contents generally excellent. A scrapbook documenting an African-American family’s road trip during July and August of 1947 which took them from Dutchess County New York through Quebec and New Brunswick and then Maine and Cape Cod. The scrapbook contains photographs of the family and scenery on the trip starting at Norrie State Park in Dutchess County then Quebec Gaspé Moncton’s Magnetic Hill in New Brunswick down the coast of Maine and finally a friend’s house in Marstons Mills on Cape Cod. It also includes postcards from various locations; maps of New York Quebec Canada’s Maritimes and Eastern Quebec and New England; tourist guides to Quebec Gaspé Moncton and the Cape; several retyped articles from the Toronto Globe and Mail; and a list of hotels in the Gaspé. For an African-American family traveling during the Jim Crow era this trip would have taken significant planning. Canada was not exempt from anti-Black discrimination at both legal and social levels; the car had solved the problem of segregated inferior public transportation but not the problem of finding a restaurant or hotel along one’s route that would actually serve Black patrons or even a safe place to stop and use the restroom. Victor Hugo Green’s Negro Motorist Green Book—a guidebook for food lodging and services that were friendly to African-Americans—did not include Canada until its 1949 edition. The family likely used it for the US leg of their trip but would have had to rely on other tactics for the Canadian leg. unknown

Two vintage photo albums documenting Dean Van Lines Indy car team before during and after the Indianapolis 500 in 1955 and 1956 with legendary driver Jimmy Bryan at the helm. Several photographs stamped on the verso by the O'Dell and Shields Studios of Indianapolis longtime contract photographers for the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Dean a California moving company magnate and noted championship car owner began his association with Bryan in 1954 when the driver would score his first significant win the AAA National Championship. The pair would win an astonishing 17 national championship races over the course of the next four years. The 1955 album contains 12 photographs capturing the moments before the 500 with several views of the team performing last-minute modifications to the Kuzma-Offenhauser better known as the Dean Van Lines #2 Special custom-built by Eddie Kuzma for the 1955 race.

Dean and Bryan would take the roadster pictured in both albums to the short-lived Race of Two Worlds in Italy in 1957 an event featuring Indy drivers racing against European Formula One drivers. Bryan would go on to win the 500 in 1958 for George Salih only a few years before Bryan's death at 34 in a crash on the Langhorne Speedway in 1960.

Archive of 63 original photographs relating to Southern California Midget Auto Racing and African American driver Rajo Jack

1938155078N.p.: N.p. 1938. Archive of 63 vintage vernacular and professional photographs along with a number of newspaper and program clippings all relating to midget auto racing in Southern California circa 1937-1938. All materials housed in a string-bound scrapbook with captions in manuscript ink adjacent to most photographs. Of particular note in the archive are five photographs of African American "outlaw" racer Rajo Jack the first driver to integrate into the all-white sport-nearly two decades before Jackie Robinson broke the "color barrier" in Major League baseball in 1947. Born Dewey Gatson in 1905 Jack would never have been able to compete on a national level in the American Automobile Association AAA due to his race so he instead competed in the American Racing Association ARA the largest racing body to allow him to compete-making him an "outlaw" racer in the eyes of the AAA and largely restricting him to West Coast racing. A continual target of discrimination Jack would frequently claim to be of Native American or Portuguese heritage in order to race although he was largely welcomed by his fellow drivers out of respect for his talent. These supporters would frequently band together to insist on Jack receiving equal service at segregated restaurants and motels. Jack won races up and down the West Coast in stock cars midgets big cars and motorcycles and in 2003 was inducted into the West Coast Stock Car Hall of Fame and the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame in 2007. Archive also includes content relating to drivers Fred Frame and the Robson brothers as well as the Oakland Speedway and the Southern Ascot Speedway. Other noted drivers in the collection include Travis 'Spider' Webb Tex Petersen including one photograph signed by Petersen Einer 'Swede' Lindskog Harry Lester Morris 'Slim' Mathis Hal Robson and Harry Secrest. An impressive and extensive archive of photographs of the South California midget auto racing scene of the 1930s with a rare substantial grouping of photographs of Rajo Jack at the height of his career. Scrapbook measuring 12.25 x 13.5 inches. Very Good with most leaves brittle and separated from binding. Photographs generally 5 x 3.25 inches with one as small as 1.25 x 1.5 inches and several as large as 5 x 3.25 inches. Very Good plus to Near Fine. N.p. unknown

1959167807N.p.: N.p. 1959. Vintage program and archive of assorted ephemera from the 1959 Southern 500 held at the Darlington Raceway in Darlington South Carolina on September 7 1959. An enthusiastic spectator's archive of the marquee NASCAR event held at NASCAR's "oldest superspeedway race" during its Tenth Anniversary which has since become a Labor Day institution in the South. The substantial archive of ephemera from the 1959 Southern 500 includes: The 88 page Souvenir Program. A tri-fold ticket order form mailer for the Rebel 300 and the Southern 500 with grandstand map. A ticket stub from the event. A flyer of the "Race Qualifiers" on the recto with the "Starting Order Of Cars" on the verso with an attached newspaper clipping of the event's winners. A souvenir Confederate flag with "Southern 500" printed on one side. A jumbo color post-card of the then-named Darlington International Raceway viewed from above. A color post-card and four 3.5 inch vernacular black and white photographs of the Bennettsville Motel and Brandin' Iron Restaurant where the compiler of the material appears to have stayed for the event. And a dozen contemporary newspaper clippings from before and after the event. The 1959 Southern 500 was the tenth running of the race held at the then-named Darlington International Raceway on September 7. A legendary NASCAR racetrack and one of NASCAR's Crown Jewels Darlington has been nicknamed as "The Lady in Black" and "The Track Too Tough To Tame" by NASCAR enthusiasts because of it's long unique somewhat egg-shaped course with uniquely different banks at the track's first two turns from the track's last two turns giving the track a storied reputation for being unforgiving and unpredictable. The race lasted for four hours and twenty-eight minutes with Jim Reed defeating Bob Burdick by more than two laps in a 1959 Chevrolet Impala and featured Richard Petty who finished fourth and Buddy Baker's first superspeedway experience. Scenes from the race were used in the 1960 film "Thunder in Carolina" directed by Paul Helmick and starring Rory Calhoun and Alan Hale Jr. Program. 8.5 x 11 inches side-stapled. Near Fine overall. Additional materials Very Good plus to Near Fine overall. N.p. unknown

The Chicago Auto Show was begun in 1901 by bicycle show promoter Samuel Miles and quickly rose to prominence often regarded as the "National Auto Show" by the early 1930s. World War II curtailed the production of motor vehicles for consumers and as a result the Chicago Auto Show was not held between 1941 and 1949. In 1961 the Chicago Auto Show was moved from the International Amphitheatre to its current location at McCormick Place. It is currently the largest auto show in the United States. Photograph Albums 11.5 x 11 inches. Albums and photographs all Near Fine. N.p. unknown
