* Up for bid is: 1985 print of a painting by Robert M. Moyer: (following statement was written at time of original printing - the 1980s) "1908 Chadwick. Lee S. Chadwick believed the way to demonstrate the worth of a quality car was to race it against others in stock form. HIs problem in 1907 was how to turn an elegant six cylinder chain driveluxury car into a racer. The answer: a centrifugal blower, better known as a supercharger. Chadwick and an engineering associate, J.T. Nichols, found that a single stage blower could increase the engine's output. Believing 'if a little is good, more is better, ' they built a three stage blower that turned 22,500 rpm at a crankshaft speed of 2500 rpm. With an engine so supercharged, Willie Haupt set the fasteest time at the Giant's Despair hill climb on May 30, 1908. Haupt went on to score victories in sprints events at Worcester, Cleveland and Norristown. After Haupt lost the Vanderbilt Cup Race because of sabotage, Chadwick publlicly revealed the details of his stock based racer. He announced that he had built replicas warranted to attain 100 miles an hour, one of which won the 200 mile Founder's Day Cup Race in Philadelphia in 1910..."
