re: Checkered flag.
The oldest car on the event (and the oldest functioning car in the
world) was Tim Moores' 1884 De Dion, Bouton & Trepardoux.
In its pedigree stands one very notable and historic accolade- it is
the recipient of the first "checkered flag". I don't think it got a
flag but the win of the FIRST ever motor race (from Paris to Neuilly
on April 28, 1887) is a historic milestone.
