Figure 15. — Early photo of the 1893-94 Duryea gasoline automobile, now in 

 the National Museum. 



Charles E. and J. Frank Duryea, whose work is repre- 

 sented in the National Museum by their 1 -cylinder vehicle 

 (fig. 15) of 1893-94, were notable among the American 

 pioneers. A 2-cylinder, pneumatic-tired Duryea vehicle 

 (fig. 16) was driven by J. Frank Duryea to victory in the 

 Chicago Times-Herald automobile race from Chicago to 

 Evanston and back on Thanksgiving Day, November 28, 

 1895. (This car was unfortunately destroyed through a 

 workman's misunderstanding many years ago.)
