Inside Speeding, Manslaughter, Stealing Cars ourna The Society of Automotive Historians, Inc. Issue 212 September-October 2004 The Motor Bandits: 5 Cars, Crimes and Philosophy by Michael Bromley www.autohistory.org \aiming a first is a dangerous business, especially with automobiles. You never reall y know. So get out your pen and co rrect me on this one: the first time an C automobile was used for non-automotive crime was in ew York City in 1910. Inside Speeding, manslaughter, stealing cars ... these thrills were earlier perfected. lt wasn't until 1910 that professional criminals and gangs took to the automobile. My coll ection of Editorial Comment 2 New York Tim es articles gives the first as eptember 29, 1910 with "Fight Pistol Battle in Speeding Autos." These were not chauffeurs of rival steel magnates. Okay, before the ded­ icated refuters out there find some 1903 Kalamazoo bank heist with a getaway in a President's Perspective 3 curved dash Olds (ca lling Keith Marvin! calling Keith Marvin!), allow me a few thoughts on why 1910 marks the meeting of automobiles and professional crime. Anything before was isolated, and not ge nerally happening, for the si mple reason SAH News 4 that before 1910 thugs in cars would have been conspicuous. Thanks to the motoring President-my man William Howard Taft-automobiles in 1910 were normal, political­ Obituary 6 ly-correct and socially-acceptable objects of what Alexis de Tocqueville called every Merle "Mickey" Mishne American's glance of hope and envy on the enjoyments of the rich. Before Taft, automo­ biles were hateful envy-and anger and calls for the income tax and six m.p.h. speed limits, two around curves if one listened to Congressman Sims of Tennessee. If only the rich ran automobiles, only the rich could use them to commit crimes. Book Reviews 7 Following the logic, since the rich owned the banks, automobilists didn't rob them, at The Graham Legacy: least not through the front door. With more and more, and more common, people taking Graham-Paige from 1932 to automobiles in 1910, your average criminal could get away with being seen in a motor car without violating the social lists. All one needed now was a driver's license, not a Porsche: membership card to the Four Hundred. General licensing, in fact , was the states' en­ Excellence Was Expected dorsement of automobiling for all. When only chauffeurs required licenses, automobile Album Smochodow FSO owners were a distinct class in law, a privilege that was erased by universal licensing, which itself followed the general acceptance of automobiles. The various drive-by shootings and getaways by car that appeared in 1910 became Letters 9 commonplace in 1912, so much so that the Times announced on February 22, "200 Ex­ Convicts Run Taxicabs Here: They have licenses which can aid them in committing The Billboard 11 crime,' the police say." The horror wasn't so much the crimes or the criminals, but their empowerment by the automobile: "... the taxicab, as a means of getting away, has made the detection of crimes ... more difficult than ever before . .. " Automotive exclusivity gone, so with it conspicuousness. Americans have always loved a good crime story. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid had not too long before scared the country with their wild and desperate train hold­ ups. But Americans don't like criminals for the crimes. The Hole in the Wall Gang mem­ Also Inside bers are not remembered for their crimes.

    I r I I ( III the coming ofage of capitalism's favorite child KenneoY The Coming ofAge ofCapitalism's Favorite Child THE AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY O. ^=^2j. l\enneJii 7 HE fabulous story of the automobile industry from the horseless carriage days of 1900 to the streamlined model of 1940 is told in this comprehensive survey of capitalism's favorite child and our best example of large- scale industrial enterprise. The scene opens with the electric auto, which was more popular than the gasoline buggy, and then shifts to the Middle West with the formation of the pioneer com- panies of Oldsmobile, Buick, Cadillac, Packard, Hudson, Overland and Ford. Growing pains were soon manifest in the beginnings of mergers and in the mortality rate which, despite fantastic profits, had by 1915 eliminated six out of every seven companies founded up to then. Four chapters are given to the World War period, from which the industry emerged as a towering young giant. Control of General Motors passed from William C. Durant to the Du Fonts and it was on its way to becoming the biggest profit producer in all history. Ford bought out his minority stockholders and became king of all he surveyed. America turned its back on Europe and rolled through the dizzy twenties, led by the automobile. For the first time the problem of producing cars be- came secondary to the problem of selling them, and the auto maker was faced with time-payments, trade-ins, used cars and development of export business. Ford's famous Model T disappeared and the picture changed rapidly with the rise of Chrysler.

It is over 40,000 square feet, climate controlled building and rests on approximately five acres. The collection traces the development of the automobile and its effect on the social and economic climate of much of the world. It traces the evolution from the high wheelers and steam buggies of the turn of the century through the boxy utilitarian cars of the late teens and twenties, the classic era of the late 20’s, 30’s and 40’s, the dream machines and land yachts of the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s, as well as the transition of the highly efficient aerodynamic sport and passenger cars. It is a one-of-a-kind collection that began with the first vehicle Mr. Burdick purchased in 1970 and a destination for anyone with a love for collector vehicles and the automotive industry’s glory days. dankruseclassics.com | 866·495·8111 The Richard Burdick Collection.
