Photo caption reads...
"American Automobile Association officials in charge of the run at the Atlantic City Speedway April 20 - 23, and drivers of the two Studebakers.  At this time a record was established for endurance and speed unequaled by any stock car listing for less than $1400, when one of the cars traveled 5,000 mile in 4,751 consecutive minutes."
