It was a car not a carriage.
At the 1904 Summer Olympics marathon was the most bizarre event of the Games. Thomas Hicks of the United States won the marathon after the disqualification of his fellow countryman Fred Lorz, who had covered a large part of the 42 kilometres in a car. He did at least get out just before the finish!

It was Fred Lorz in the 1904 St. Louis Olympics, and it was a car, not a horse and carriage.

This question was posted on another website and the question specifically said "horse and carriage." The question poser may have meant horseless carriage, but that isn't the way it was written.
