In 1909 there was a New York to Atlanta Good Roads Tour in which a Chalmers vehicle was driven the distance. One of the celebrity drivers was Ty Cobb himself, who was a Chalmers enthusiast. Here we see Cobb in the driver’s seat. The photo was taken by Spooner and Wells, a photographic agency which specialized in auto racing, but who also made the foray into baseball. This photo manages to combine both!
