U.S. Wins Vintage Car Rally
(NJZ. Press Association—Copyright). NEW YORK, April 30. The American team of vintage cars beat a visiting British team today to win the second BritishAmerican vintage car rally. The American cars, ranging from a 1911 Pierce Arrow to a 1929 Studebaker, surmounted assorted mechanical difficulties to lost only 2359 points, compared with 3074 lost by the British. The British team, whose cars ranged from a 1908 Hutton to a 1928 Bentley, lost points heavily in hill climbing and never caught up. The stately procession of antique cars putted back to New Yprk this morning after an 800-mile tour which began a week ago. Police arrangements for the ceremony went awry, and the cars had to force their - own way through heavy Manhattan traffic. The frog-throated roars of their old-fashioned klaxon horns startled even New York’s hardened taxi-drivers into making way in the final two or three blocks while hundreds of spectators cheered and clapped.
