	Glidden Tour - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The Glidden Tours name was given to the AAA tour when Charles J. Glidden, a financier and automobile enthusiast, presented the AAA with a grand silver trophy # [1] (http://www.vmcca.org/bh/cjg.html) to be given as a prize to the winner of the 1905 tour.
		The tours were gruelling events as cars broke axles and other parts, encountered roads that today would not be considered passable by the average vehicle and got into everything from minor to serious accidents.
		The Glidden Tours were revived in 1946 by the Veteran Motor Car Club of America and have continued since with antique cars traveling premarked routes and stopping in local towns to show off their vehicles, many people dressed in period costume.

	Pierce-Arrow - Classic Car History
		The Glidden Tours were actually the beginnings of the American rally or regularity run.
		Jaspar Glidden, one of the developers of the Bell Telephone system, laid out a long distance course between cities, arranged hotel stopovers, and awarded a trophy to that car that completed the rough cross-country tour closest to schedule.
		In a sense, it was the popularity of the Glidden tours that focused the attention of the American public on the necessity for good roads, and our fine highway system today can be traced to the interest in touring that Jaspar Glidden inaugurated with his contests.

	Green Car Club Forums - Father and Son team tour Ireland & Scandanavia
		My long-dead cousin Charles Jasper Glidden, dubbed ìUlysses of the motor car,î was the first guy to drive around the world in an automobile.
		At the same time I'm not at all pro-car, like he was; in fact, I'm much opposed to cars swamping the cities of the world, killing an average of 600 thousand people a year, and contributing to a score of environmental problems--not the least of which is global warming.
		It connects Glidden, myself, and Andrew through some kind of genetic predisposition that the British travel writer Bruce Chatwin called ìinsane restlessness.î On the road I intend to explore this deep connectedness that animates generations across time.
