1904 Knox at the Seal Cove Auto Museum (upd. Wally not Henrietta)

• 

By Roberto Rodriguez, excutive director of the Seal Cove Auto Museum:
This 1904 Knox was originally built for Elisha Cutler, president of the Knox Automobile Company, and was once owned by Henry Austin Clark Jr. In 2010, the Seal Cove auto Museum verified the automobile’s provenance when one of the Museum’s volunteers found its registration hidden under the seat… Henrietta H. Clark, Henry Austin Clark’s wife. The registration is now kept in the car’s log book. The Clark’s son, Henry, further verified the family’s ownership when he visited the Museum in 2010. The Knox was registered in his mother’s name so that it could be issued a vanity license plate.
The Knox was featured in postcards and prints sold by Henry Austin Clark Jr., at his Long Island Automotive Museum and can be seen at the end of “50 Years of Automotive Progress” . This 1957 film was produced by Scudder Boyd and features the antique cars of the Long Island Automotive Museum which was located in Southampton, New York. Henry Austin Clark, Jr. can be seen driving his cars throughout the film. The Seal Cove Auto Museum is located on Mount Desert Island, Maine.
