Event Coverage 'Significant' Cars at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway

I snuck away from my paying job to go check out some cars that were invited to IMS as part of the Centennial Celebration. I'll load a few pics and try to post some more when I get home tonight. They're not exactly hot rods but pretty cool stuff in my opinion.



This Stutz had an all Leather body!







More later if anyone is interested.

 

They're very nice, but look like they might be out of my price range. But you can keep the pics coming. They are neat to look at.

Theres about a bazillion dollars in those 4 cars.

 

More, more - please!

 

Yep. They're definitely out of my price range too. Interesting the amount of parts on these cars that our kind deisre...Woodlite headlights (and other crazy rare makes), curved glass Stewart Warner gauges, lever action shocks... The dashes and steering wheels are as interesting as the exteriors to me.

 

What is this one?

 

Post them all please. This would be THE year to go to Indy for all the prerace events.

 

I believe this is a Talbot Lago, but not sure what year or exact model. It was rolling out to take a lap on the track, so I couldn't get real close to it.

 

Damn.......How dare that bug decide to smash against my windshield as I drive around the track.

At least they can say they are driven. Well they were driven to the track in a trailer (Which I would do to, if I owned one of them)

Those are some might fine pieces of automobile machinery. It is great of the owners to bring them out for folks to see and hear them, not locked up in some museum (Even if I can't own one, I can dream, can't I?)


Keep the photos coming.......

More...

It's deceiving how big the Stutzes, Duzenbergs, Cadillacs, etc are. Even though they have the same basic shape as a Model A or Deuce, they are about 25% bigger.

Stutz


Marmon






Delihay (sorry I know I spelled that wrong)

 

Last batch...

Mercedes




'40 Nash








First time using the iPhone app...it rules!

 

Flipper, that's an Alfa Romeo- gorgeous car and even better with the top down!

 

That yella car made me cry in my pants

wow, thanks for the pics. Theres no more sacred grounds than IMS

 

The yellow car is Ab Jenkins Mormon Meteor Duesenburg. Set a ton of Records.

 

Yep I slipped over to the track this afternoon and watched the old "original" Indy cars run the track.. Every car had ran at Indy during it's life.
Stayed way too long, nice afternoon to sit and watch.......

 

Thanks for this post!

Stuck in an office in Dallas and those cars makes me smile.

I never seen any of these cars at the Friday and Saturday night cruise ins in Indy

 

More pics PLEASE!!!!!!!!.Some good friends of mine are there with a maroon 40 Cad Conv.Sedan or a dark green 41 Cad Conv.Sedan.

 

I see they brought the 40 Cad CS.

 

The one with the fin is a Tatra (Czech).
The blue one that's all cab is a Stout Scarab.
The black limo is a Pierce-Arrow.
White w/ red grille - Cord L29.

They're all COOL!

 

I would say somewhere between 15 and 18 million depending on how the market was on a given day

 

Wow Those are absolutely beautiful. Thanks for posting.

 

These were the FIRST true factory hot rods! Definitely nothing OT about any of these legendary cars.
