Manufacturers

A total of 71 different manufacturers entered at least one car in either the Vanderbilt Cup Races, American Elimination Races or associated Sweepstakes. Only five manufacturers remain in business today (7%); Buick, Cadillac, Fiat, Mercedes and Renault.
The most successful car make was the American Locomotive Company (Alco) which won the two races (1909 and 1910) that it entered. The French Darracq with three entries won both the 1905 and 1910 Races. The most disappointing marque in the races was the German Mercedes with 16 entries in the six races. The highest finish for the powerful Mercedes was fourth in the 1908 and 1909 Races.
