Pretty unusual to see a car backdated to use drum headlights (which were obsolete by 1927).
From a 1959 Popular Science article: [ATTACH] Not quite what the OP asked for, but no more OT that most of the pics posted: [ATTACH]...
Well, the Scottish accent is pretty thick... :rolleyes: "Here comes the Castlebank man!" I had to find a different pic to read the second line of...
See post #2...
Audi never meant 'Auto Union Deutsches Industries'. Audi was one member of the Auto Union combine (with DKW, Horch & Wanderer).
That's a Graham Hollywood. The Hupmobile Skylark had a painted upper grille: [IMG] Other than the drivetrain, that's about all that was different...
Interesting. If I've read the text completely and correctly, (difficult to tell when presented in a montage) that article contradicts Al Drake:...
I'm curious why you call it the Don Bracy roadster. Was it built for him?
Two jet engines, one drum brake, what could possibly go wrong?
Mods, please lock this thread which has the name of an earlier, more popular thread and is only used by people who think they are accessing the...
Are you thinking of the very similar Portland-based roadster that Tom Story built and later sold to 'Blackie' Blackburn (who built the engine for...
That's a tough call. I'd bet that there are about as many guys here that are annoyed at having to keep track of a dozen threads about a single...
Some more info on Dragstrip rollers: www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/whatever-happened-to-roller-starters-in-drag-racing.1263753/
Its on a roller starter. Pretty common for bike-engined specials in the UK & down under. The NHRA ran roller starters in 1974, but they were...
Do you mean Dick Van Osten? A Richard Van Osten was the editor of Auto Speed & Sport magazine in 1952. One thing to keep in mind is that an...
"Each chapter frames the birth and evolution of a company that produced a speedster model in its lineup." Cool, but not does not cover specials.
I believe that that definition implies construction by an individual or a shop, not a factory. Why would it matter to a factory that the materials...
Is a factory race/record car a 'special'?
I went back to my Identifying Instrument Panels link and it didn't have the temp at the end. Unfortunately, I get this msg when I try it: Sign in...
Fire suit and Converse... Different times to be sure.
No, its a four with siamesed exhaust on the middle cylinders.
I've read a lot of history, including WWII history. The blunt reality is that the US government has no ability to give things it does not own....
I’d have to see documentation for this. How did the government give away something that they didn’t own? Who did they allegedly give the Harley...
Edgar Kaufman, who commissioned FallingWater, sometimes referred to it as"RisingDamp".
I think he's referring to the pic of the three cars 'racing' (I think its staged). We've seen another pic of the car on the right, but not the one...
There were cheap car import dealers, more postwar than prewar. They fell into two basic categories: captive imports sold by Ford & GM dealers, and...
The VS57-YBlock brackets page was archived at Archive.org, but most of the photos are missing. There's no reference to a D-101, but the initial in...
Probably. The background image is an old NBC Radio City postcard that has been converted to B/W: [IMG]
How about a BMW 600 (stretched Isetta)? Over 30 inches shorter than a Crosley. [IMG]
