July 19 – On this day in Montana
history in 1913 the AAA Glidden trophy was presented to Dr. J. D. Park of
Duluth, Minn., who beat out several other competitors in a harrowing
reliability road trip by automobile from Minneapolis to Glacier National Park.
The trip took nine days and put the national park on the map as a drivable
destination for motorists. Park’s Locomobile
beat out a Hupmobile for the prize.
