A superb and rare photo of
the Lexington automobile in 1923.
The Lexington was an
automobile manufactured in Connersville, Indiana, from 1910 to 1927. From the
beginning, Lexingtons, like most other Indiana-built automobiles, were
assembled cars, built with components from many different suppliers. The Thoroughbred
Six and Minute Man Six were popular Lexington models.
Two short-wheelbase race cars
with the powerful Ansted engine were built by Lexington for the 1920 Pikes Peak
hill climb. The cars placed first and second in their initial outing and
brought home the Penrose trophy. Again in 1924, Otto Loesche won, with an
18-minute 15 second dash and brought the trophy home for keeps.
