Description

Long known for “booze, shoes, and last in the American League,” St. Louis had a key role in automobile history. Did you know that a horseless carriage plied our streets three years before Henry Ford rolled his first machine out of a Michigan shed? Or that St. Louis has been home to dozens of automobile companies? Thomas Eyssell (They Will Run: The Golden Age of the Automobile in St. Louis and The Automobile in St. Louis: An Illustrated Timeline) will take you on a ride through our city’s incredible automotive history.
