Fred W. Belcher powers his 60 HP Knox stock car, No. 15, over the crest of Thurlow Hill in South Poland.

The Maine Automobile Association sponsored the Thurlow Hill Climb. Belcher drove an exhibition run over the two-thirds-mile course in 48.2 seconds.

At one point his car sailed through the air an estimated 32 feet as later paced off by witnesses.
