1t was the start of the annual
road run of the Antique Automo-

revived Glidden Tours after the
famous reliability runs that start
ed in 1904 and were ended by the
first World War. James Melton

After that it was duck soup. At

wanted to see if the old cars could

spectator cars on the road gave
the Glidden tourists a hard time
