"The Mercer Raceabout is considered the most-prized original American sports car. Known for its advanced design, magnificent handling, and high speed, these cars won five of six races they entered in 1911. Mercers came with the unheard of guarantee that each Raceabout would achieve a minimum of 70 miles per hour without modification on public roads, at a time when most cars had trouble reaching the 45-50 mile per hour range! It is believed that this Mercer was originally owned by Barney Oldfield, America’s best-known early racecar driver. He was always photographed with a cigar in his mouth while he was racing, not because he was smoking it, but because he used the cigar as cushioning for his teeth. Fierce competition existed among the early American sports car producers, especially between Mercer and another early sports car, the Stutz Bearcat. Mercer owners would taunt “You must be nuts to drive a Stutz,” while Stutz owners would retort, “Nothing’s worser than driving a Mercer.”" heritagemuseumsandgardens.org/hmg/1912-mercer-raceabout Antique car collection Heritage Museum Sandwich Massachusetts Many of the vehicles in the collection are still operational.
