ON DISPLAY

Featuring the Winning Car: 1907 Thomas Flyer Gallery Four

In 1908 in the middle of winter, six cars from around the world embarked on the longest, most grueling auto competition in history, the New York to Paris automobile race. It’s a remarkable story of man and machine against unimaginable odds, complete with maps of the route. Featuring the only American entry, the Museum’s 1907 Thomas Flyer that won the race. In 2016, the Thomas Flyer was entered into the National Historic Vehicle Register, a permanent archive of significant historic automobiles within the Library of Congress.

In addition to the winning car, the exhibit includes a series of paintings by late Reno artist Robert Cinkel depicting the challenges and triumphs of different points in the race.

Just like in Hollywood, you can enjoy a walk of the stars at the Museum, but in this case it’s a Walk of the Star Cars.

You will discover these “stars” as you tour the Museum beginning in Gallery One and ending in Gallery Four
