The March 2024 issue of Hemmings Classic Car featured a Vanderbilia game found at the 2023 Hershey Fall Meet.

The six Vanderbilt Cup Races held on Long Island from 1904 to 1910 were the greatest sporting events of their day, and the first international automobile road races held in the United States. The races had a far-reaching impact on the development of American automobiles and parkways. This site provides comprehensive information on the races, the Long Island Motor Parkway and current Long Island automotive events, car shows and news.

Nice game, unfortunately it doesn’t appear to have helped its creators stay in business too long. Here’s some additional documentation. Original article is from The San Francisco Examiner of Oct. 13, 1907.
I’ve seen this board game on display at the Half Hollow Hills Community Library in their Gallery exhbits about a couple years ago, that will be part of Howard’s exhbit at the Harborfield Public Library in Greenlawn, during Feb. mentioned in this newsletter.
I saw one of these in the box on display at the Museum of the City of New York about 15 years ago.
