This picture has been posted many times. IT'S HIS MOTORCADE DUNCES!
This is Bobby Kennedy on a CAR TRIP, with several cars. Just because you guys are clueless when it comes to history you MIGHT think before you post the SAME DAMN comment over and over again. Jeeeez,

 

I've seen that steering wheel in the first shot somewhere before. I'm thinking Dean Thompson. I think I remember mention of him having one arm shorter than the other. Maybe Rootie , Jim Nise , or one of the other guys with circle track knowledge can fill in the details.

 

.....and it is a Studebaker Lark that he is sitting on....

 

You're right, Thompson's left arm was shorter than his right. His car owner, Bruce Bromme made that steering wheel for him.

 

Speedwrench, definitely Deans steering wheel.

 

Don "Duck" Collins built it in 1958, Desoto power. Duck had it at his shop until he died, around 2003. Del bought it from the estate, and quickly got it back running, and put Palmer Crowell in the seat for some vintage races. Palmer was replaced by Donnie Nelson, and they went to some paved mile ovals and had some good times.

 

yellow dragster is in the brothers garage still-I think the same one
