Not to be confused with the 1950s Briggs Cunningham cars,the Cunningham Automobile was produced from 1896 to 1931 in Rochester, New York by James Cunningham, Son and Company. On November 17, 1919, Ralph De Palma drove this stripped but otherwise stock series V-3 (V8) Cunningham special roadster at 98 mph in a six-mile trial at the Sheepshead Bay Race Track.
