1953 Lincoln Mexico Road Race 5 Days Confirmed a Motor Car Revolution Brochure. Five Days that confirmed a motor car revolution. The Challenge: On Wednesday, November 19, 1952, expert drivers piloting the world's finest automobiles, lined up for the start of the world's toughest competition race. In two classes, stock and sport, for five days, they were to pit skill and machines against 1,938 miles of road from Tuxtla Guiterrez near Mexico's southern border almost to the international boundary at Juarez. This wa the route - and the field - an as yet publicly untested car, the 1953 Lincoln, set out to conquer. From near sea level to altitudes over 10,000 feet, it sought to best the world's finest stock cars and dared to contest the performance of the world's most costly, competition inspired sports cars. The Result: Even before the first of the four Lincolns crossed the finish line to take first, second, third, and fourth places at Jaurez five days later, there had beene more than an inkling of the results to come. They had consistently outperformed all other stock cars. They had rolled on and on -- while 56 of the original 95 starters dropped out. Besides sweeping the first four places in the stock car field, Lincolns outran or outlasted 76% of all sports cars -- cars specially built for competitions like this! Truly a motor car revolution had been confirmed. And here, on the following pages, as told by the drivers themselves, is the story of this spectacular test! Lincoln. Powered to leave the past behind. Condition: Rusty staples.
