Offered for sale is an exceptionally scarce and historically significant brass automobilia plaque commemorating the “First Annual International 1903 Daytona Florida Beach Races.” The plaque is engraved:
“First Annual International 1903 Daytona Florida Beach Races”
“Under the Patronage of the Florida East Coast Automobile Association”
“Promoted by the Motor Contest Association, Inc.”
“Sanctioned by A.A.A. Contest Board”
“W.J. Morgan, Manager”
This piece represents the formative years of organized American motorsports and commemorates the legendary Daytona Beach racing tradition that would eventually evolve into one of the most celebrated names in automotive history. Long before the construction of Daytona International Speedway, the hard-packed sands of Daytona Beach served as one of the premier proving grounds for racing, speed trials, and record-setting automobiles.
It was acquired from an advanced collection of early automotive memorabilia, hood ornaments, and racing-related antiques. Whether originally displayed as a commemorative presentation plaque, event marker, promotional piece, or clubhouse display, it stands today as a remarkable survivor!
Opportunities to acquire pieces associated with the earliest years of Daytona Beach racing are exceedingly rare, making this an exceptional display item and conversation piece for the serious automotive collector.
Please review all photographs carefully for condition and details. The plaque exhibits age-related wear, oxidation, and patina consistent with its age and history.
A truly outstanding piece of early American racing history from the Brass Era of motoring.
