Today, I give you Bob Burman, race car driver. Photo was published by
Bain News Service, circa 1910. Being a race car driver in 1910 must have a pretty glamorous career!

His car wasn’t pictured but the Henry Ford Foundation website has pictures of a 1910 racing car.

I was curious how fast a 1910 race car could go. From thehenryford.org, “Frank Kulick raced this highly modified Model T for Ford Motor Company from 1910 to 1913. On February 17, 1912, Kulick reached 107.8 miles per hour with the car on frozen Lake St. Clair, northeast of Detroit.”

Not bad!
