The 2016 awards are part of the FIVA World Motoring Heritage Year celebration under the patronage of UNESCO.<\/p>\n<p>In 1902, E. R. Thomas Motor Company acquired the assets of the Buffalo Automobile and Auto-Bi Company and began producing the single-cylinder, 8 h.p. Thomas, Model No. 17. The following year, the company introduced the much more powerful three-cylinder 24 h.p. Model No. 18 and eventually became well known for creating durable and powerful automobiles. The company received international fame when an American team won the 1908 New York to Paris race in a 1907 Thomas Flyer. The company went on to produce automobiles until 1919.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis 1902 Thomas is believed to be the oldest complete Thomas motor car known to exist,\u201d said co-owner Stewart Laidlaw. \u201cSeveral years ago, it was purchased from the Wells Museum collection in Maine, which had owned it for more than 60 years.\u201d While the precise history is not known, the car is thought to have resided in Maine from new, with only one owner prior to Mr Wells.<\/p>\n<p>Stewart Laidlaw has collected and sold early brass era cars for more than 50 years. \u201cI have a total affection for original cars,\u201d he said. \u201cThis car is the best original early car I\u2019ve ever seen.\u201d Over the last decade, Mr Laidlaw\u2019s cars have won the pre-War preservation class at the Pebble Beach Concours d\u2019Elegance a record five times. Co-owner Kirk Bewley is a longtime friend and both men are members of the Horseless Carriage Club of America.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_787479\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-787479\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/1902-Thomas-Model-No.-17-1-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-787479 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/1902-Thomas-Model-No.-17-1-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/1902-Thomas-Model-No.-17-1-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/1902-Thomas-Model-No.-17-1-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/1902-Thomas-Model-No.-17-1-1-100x67.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/1902-Thomas-Model-No.-17-1-1-770x513.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/1902-Thomas-Model-No.-17-1-1-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/1902-Thomas-Model-No.-17-1-1-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/1902-Thomas-Model-No.-17-1-1-293x195.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-787479\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Left to right: Mark Gessler, Vice President of FIVA and President of HVA; co-owners Stewart Laidlaw and Kirk Bewley; Hagerty CEO, McKeel Hagerty<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Speaking about the 1902 Thomas, Mr Laidlaw remarked, \u201cWhen we received the car we removed varnish on the fenders to uncover the original japan (black paint). An amazing feature is the leather straps in the rear seats which are still intact and typically never survive. The wood body retains its original green\/grey paint, a colour known as London Smoke, with gold leaf pin-striping. The pin-striping on the springs is interesting because of the repeated \u2018T\u2019 outline pattern for Thomas.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When explaining how a car this old could be so beautifully preserved, Mr Laidlaw said, \u201cWealthy owners sent new cars to their summer homes in Maine. The cars would be used only a few months a year and would typically be well cared for in carriage houses in the off-season. During this early part of the century, the technology was changing fast and these owners would purchase new cars and keep the older models. This is likely what happened in the case of this Thomas.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When presenting the award, Mark Gessler, Vice President of FIVA and President of HVA (the sole representative for FIVA in the United States and Canada), commented, \u201cEighteen years ago, in 1998, the first FIVA Preservation Trophy was established at the Pebble Beach Concours d\u2019Elegance to help ensure that stewardship of unrestored vehicles was widely celebrated and strongly encouraged. This wonderfully preserved early Thomas motor car is an incredible example of over 100 years of careful stewardship.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Patrick Rollet, President of FIVA, concluded, \u201cIn the year that FIVA is celebrating its 50th anniversary, we are delighted to be able to recognise one of the earliest automobiles at the Pebble Beach Concours d\u2019Elegance, as part of FIVA\u2019s World Motoring Heritage Year under the patronage of UNESCO.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>[Source: FIVA]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At the Pebble Beach Concours d&#8217;Elegance on Sunday 21 August 2016, FIVA (the F\u00e9d\u00e9ration Internationale des V\u00e9hicules Anciens) awarded its preservation trophy to the 1902 Thomas, Model No. 17, owned by Kirk Bewley of Sacramento, California and Stewart Laidlaw of Redding, Connecticut.
