Title: The cars in The runaway match movie of 1903
Post by: Spazmatron206 on April 25, 2023, 10:52:38 AM

Good day!

I wonder if you've ever seen The runaway match - 5 minutes long film featuring probably the first ever car chase.
Nicely done for 1903 in my opinion!

Could anyone please help me in identifing the two cars in the movie? Guess they are of French origin but that's my only guess.

Thank you in advance!

Possibly a Panhard et Levassor followed by a de Dietrich.

Thanks so much!

Yes, they look definitely like Panhard&Levassor 16cv and DeDitriech peerless.
