E. P. Ingersoll Award
The E. P. Ingersoll Award is given for the best presentation of automotive history in other than print media.
This award pays tribute to Edward Platt Ingersoll (1861 – 1920) who pioneered the automotive magazine Horseless Age as its editor. This monthly journal was first published in November 1895 within a month of the The Motorcycle which started in October 15, 1895 and is acknowledged as the earliest American automotive magazine. Horseless Age has transitioned through several names and is now known as Automotive Industries.
