Looks like the wreck that provoked Stutz to get out of speed trials.

 

agreed..



If there was a problem, i m pretty sure the mods would chime in

 

Now that is just badass...

 

Hey Randomrodder,

That movie of Ford's B-24 plant is a great piece of history.
I'm involved in a local aviation museum in Burbank and will share this with lots of people.

Thanks.

 

Hey, sorry if I'm plain lame today. But wasn't the HUGE B-24 plant at Willow Run WANTED after the war by Lustron for modern pre-fab G.I. homes, plus Tucker for production of the Tucker '48? Eventually going to Frazer (formerly Graham) and Kaiser for their jointly built new cars?

Anywho . . .






Speaking of weird, Even Lady Gaga's
got nothing on Doctor Frank-N-Furter!

 

No. It was a later crash that launched Frank Lockhart out of the car not this one.

 

My Dad was assigned to the same airbase.

 

That's a 1965 penny...can't have that on the HAMB. too new. uh, just kidding.

Thanks, Al. I was already on it, as follows:


I'm sorry, the previous Frank Lockhart photo was of his wipe-out at Daytona
after he'd already gone over 200 mph. This was February 1928! His fatal April
28, 1928, pass is covered in the following historical material and is THANKS
to Bradley Price of Automobiliac. For ALL of his great site, go to:

Stutz Black Hawk - Musings about cars, design, history and ...
www.automobiliac.com/automobiliac/tag/stutz-black-hawk
(Warning: The newsreel footage makes the ferocity of the April 28 wreck immensely plain.)








Below is an "accident report" that diagrams the path of the car in its final seconds,
April 28, 1928.

About the clothes lines, I think it would be fun to watch the people as they attempted to get a line from window to window. Got to be a number of ways to try, all with little chance of success.

 

Are those B.S.A. tracks in the foreground?

&#8220;Stagecoach&#8221; Mary Fields (c. 1832-1914) was born a slave in Tennessee and following the Civil War, she moved to the pioneer community of Cascade, Montana. In 1895, when she was around 60 years old, Fields became the second woman and first African American carrier for the US Postal Service. Despite her age, she never missed a day of work in the ten years she carried the mail and earned the nickname &#8220;Stagecoach&#8221; for her reliability. Fields loved the job, despite the many dangers and difficulties such as wolves and thieves (she was an excellent marksman, defending her route with a revolver and a rifle).
The people of Cascade so loved and respected Fields, that each year on her birthday they closed the schools to celebrate the occasion. They even built her a new house when she lost her home in a fire in 1912.
