Mr. Erwin Ross 'E.R.' Thomas first became known for making bicycles, but in 1903 he moved on to automobiles, and by 1905 the Thomas Company was building its now-famous four-cylinder Thomas Flyer. In 1908 the company entered a Flyer in the Great Race from New York to Paris. The race lasted 171 days and covered over 13,300 miles, with the cars being driven from New York to San Francisco, then going by ship to Alaska and crossing the Bering Straits either by ship or by a route across the ice to Siberia, then driving cross-continent to Paris. The Thomas, the only American entry, was the eventual winner, putting the Thomas Company firmly on the map. The 6-cylinder Model 6-40 was first demonstrated in 1909 when it made a grueling round-trip -with all gears removed except top and reverse - from Buffalo over the White Mountains, the Green Mountains, and the Adirondacks back to Buffalo.
