A circa 1946 photo of the Del Baxter RPU: A young Andy Linden is seen in Del Baxter's number 20 Roadster-Pickup in 1946 at one of the 22 California Roadster Association oval-track races held that year. By '51 Andy had qualified for his first Indianapolis 500 mile race in 31st starting spot and finished fourth. Not bad for a rookie and hot rod roadster guy. In ’52 he started in second but dropped out early for a last place finish. He also made the race from ’53 to ’57 then crashed and retired with serious injuries. ©AHRF/Johnny MacDonald Collection
I am a roadster pick up guy. This is one of the ones that influenced my car. Thanks of the feature, Joey.
Great story and cool RPU! I love the mild stance and subtle big & littles. No too aggressive, just right for the street.
