1906 Pope-Toledo Type XII Roi des Belges Touring

The Pope-Toledo was built by the Pope Motor Car Company founded by Colonel A.A. Pope in 1904. In 1907, two Pope-Toledos were imported to Dawson City in the Yukon Territory, and the following year one was driven on the streets of Fairbanks, Alaska - the home of the Fountainhead Antique Auto Museum. This Pope-Toledo Type XII with the Roi des Belges body is identical to that first Fairbanks car. Fewer than a dozen Pope-Toledos survive, and this car has been shown at many auto events during its long life. It was named First Grand Champion at the 1957 Old Car Festival at Greenfield Village, Michigan. It also won the Emmert Swigart Memorial Cup for the best restoration of a rare car at the Antique Automobile Club of America's concours in 1964 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It has now been recently restored, and made its first visit to Pebble Beach in 2013.
