1913 Mercer Model 35 Raceabout

    While this Indy did not run at Indy, it represents the type of cars that did race at Indy in the early 1900s. The Mercer Auto Company was founded in 1909 in Trenton, New Jersey. The 'Mercer Raceabout' was one of America's first sports car. At the time, the car was guaranteed to do 70 mph, when very few people had gone over 50 mph. The first Mercer was the Type 30, with the Type 35 being their second car. It was a low-slung car with the engine sitting deep within the chassis providing a low center of gravity. When built for racing, Mercer sold the car as a stripped-down Type 35 model. While the Type 35 Mercer won races on both dirt tracks and hill climb competition, Mercer was never able to win at Indy.
