Motor Mouth - Dragon PART 3

Well, we did it...it's the last episode in our three-part series on the Dragon, a car manufacturer based in Philadelphia. This last episode details a publicity stunt by Dragon in 1907 to run one of its cars from New York City to Philadelphia and back, one way using regular gasoline, the other way using denatured alcohol for fuel. Yes, alternative fuels were a thing in the early 1900s...let's see how it turned out for Dragon!
Make sure you check out Parts 1 and 2 for more about the Dragon company and engineer Joe Tracy, racing star who drove the Golden Dragon on this innovative alternative fuel trip!
