I think I can find some old magazine coverage on the City of Pasadena. Sure would like some info on the car in my avatar too, The Ansen Special. Bob
The City of Pasadena II is the one that rolled at Bonneville, story in the March 1951 issue of Hot Rod. Bob
Thanks for your input, I know most of the old history on both cars,,I,m looking for what happen to them . I know the City of Pasadena car was taken apart ,to built the City of Pasadena two. I would like to locate these cars or any parts of them. Thanks for any help Marshall
The Hartman roadster exits and it's under restoration. As for the Pasadena streamliner, I don't know the whereabouts, but I have a friend who consults private collections who knows what happened to some of these cars. I'll ask him if he has any information. Some old race cars aren't lost to time or destroyed, they tend to sit in multi-car collections until the owner(s) restore them or sells them. I remember years ago, somebody tried to re-create Andy Linden's '51 Indy car, because it's whereabouts where unknown. However, the original car was in hibernation owned by the same collector for several decades. I think he still owns the car.
Marshall--This sounds like another car for Pat-maybe using the drivetrain from the previous Orange Rocket...Am I warm?.....
The 260 car was Johnny Hartman's Wayne Chevy. I believe Bob Cross was the regular driver in C.R.A. events.
I'm looking for the Hartman car for myself,if the car is sill out there I would like to buy it. I don't want to build a clone if the real one still exists.
Need to get Herb Treehouse out of Nebraska to post some photo's of the 28-29 L.A. roadster brought back from California a couple years ago, not the car in question but one to get the juices flowing, a real time warp garaged for decades with drag & lakes ? history. If anyone happens to have photo's from the Speedway coffee cruise where I believe it was last seen please chime in..curious to know it's current status.
