SLIDE SHOW
The Flag Raising: @ The Village of Roebling's "Town Center"
SLIDE SHOW
The Mercer Cars: No, there was nobody named Abner or Peter Mercer laboring with scrap metal in the corner of an old shed. C. G. Roebling designed the car and he called it after Mercer County in New Jersey. This is probably the only car that bore the title of a political division of a state. But while few people outside the state know about Mercer County, all car fans know the car that became the traditional racing rival of the Stutz.
