Daily Automotive History Podcast
This month, we're trying something new for No Driving Gloves. It's part of National Podcasting Month, or NAPODPOMO. The challenge is to create a daily podcast episode for 30 days. We'll still release our regular episodes every Tuesday, along with daily episodes about Today in Automotive History.
Give us your feedback and let us know what you think. Depending on your response, we may create a separate feed or include it in our main one. Visit nodrivinggloves.com to share your thoughts.
Now, let's dive into our first bit of automotive history: November 1st, 1895. 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.
