A history of the automobile drives around


From Taunton Gazette: A history of the automobile drives around Taunton
Taunton — Antique car enthusiasts hailing from as far as New Jersey and Maine converged on Saturday for a 60-mile tour around the Taunton area.

There were 17 vehicles as part of Saturday’s convoy, in what has been dubbed the “frostbite tour” for the Autoneers, a regional faction of the Horseless Carriage Club, which boasts 4,500 members worldwide.

The annual frostbite tour is the final ride of the season for the Autoneers, which is composed of only riders of brass era automobiles from 1915 and earlier. The tour started at the Holiday Inn in Taunton, then to the Old Colony Historical Society, and then through the country roads of Dighton, Rehoboth and Seekonk before returning to the Silver City.
