First Road of Its Kind Tour Connects Ash Fork to Grand Canyon
A 70 mile plus auto route in northern Arizona links Ash Fork rail lines with Grand Canyon government lands. The Studebaker Flanders 20 pathfinder carried five men at about 20 mph, delivering travelers across desert and mountainous scenery with no wells or streams along the route. Governors and attorneys general of Arizona plan to join along with Prescott and Tucson car owners. A “governor's cup” and other prizes will honor winners as eastern motorists eye the new touring field.
