Stephen Hotz Just Drive It!

1913 Cole Series 60 Roadster The Cole Roadster was introduced in 1913 along with five other models featuring the six-cylinder engine. The sporty two-seater impresses with its sizeable chassis and 132-inch wheelbase, impractical as it was. The Cole boasts original instruments, including a nickel motometer, clock, and speedometer. A removable top allows the motorist to cruise along with true roadster abandon. Electric starting and lighting systems were innovative for 1913, and Cole was only slightly behind Cadillac with their addition. Cole was known for a slew of firsts in the relatively young automobile industry, among them adding four physical doors standard. The Yellowstone Trail was the first transcontinental automobile highway through the upper tier of states in the United States, established on May 23, 1912. It was an Auto Trail that ran from the Atlantic Ocean in Plymouth, Massachusetts, through Montana to Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming, to the Pacific Ocean in Seattle, Washington. The road slogan was "A Good Road from Plymouth Rock to Puget Sound". In June 1915, a timed relay race from Chicago to Seattle was held on the Trail. The 2,445 miles (3,935 km) route was won with a best time of 97 hours. Although no deaths were recorded during the race, accidents did happen.
