The bodies of the cars were battle ~carred, some of th<'m having been riddled by bullets. The speedometers were in good condition and offered proof that <'ach of the cars had travrl<'d seventy thousand miles or more. Taking into consideration that the:v had been driven so many miles under extraordinary circumstances, such the ir mrchanica l co ndition was exceptionally good. The fact that th<'y had not b<'en overhaul<'d since first heing put into service in 1917 makes their record even more remarkable.
