On this day, the American Motor League (AML), the first US automobile club, held its preliminary meeting in Chicago. Sixty people attended the meeting at the Chicago School of Electricity on Dearborn Street.The club aimed to promote technological innovations for automobiles, which were still in their early stages of development. Attendees included notable automotive pioneers like Charles and Frank Duryea, Charles Bradley King, Henry G. Morris and Pedro S. Salomon, and Sterling Elliott.Dr. J. Allen Hornsby was named temporary president at the meeting, and Charles Duryea became AML's president a month later. Although AML was a trailblazer for US automobile clubs, it merged with the American Automobile Association in 1904.www.nodrivinggloves.com#cars #car #collectorcars #oldcars #cartalk #electriccars #ev #hotrod #carhistory #automotivehistory #automobile #auto #thisdayinautomotivehistory #thisdayinhistory #classiccars #minivan #NAPODPOMO(1)
