    Saw a good trivia question online- anyone care to take a guess?
    =======


    In 1927 three of these cars set a new production-car record in Atlantic City by each running 25,000 uninterrupted miles, averaging more than 60 mph. They were built of all-steel bodies and turret tops which made them look to some degree like an armored car. In 1929 an eight-cylinder engine joined the prior six-cylinder, which was dropped after 1930.

    Specifications:
    Engine: In-line 6 and 8 cylinders
    Displacement: 221-353.8 cu. in.
    Power: 75-107 hp
    Transmission: 4-speed manual
    Chassis: Independent front suspension and hydraulic brakes from 1935
    Weight: 3,215 - 3,345 lbs
    Price: $1,545 - $1,695 in 1930

    Name the mystery car....

    How about 3- 1928 "Studebaker Commanders"...2Roadsters and one sedan. It was the company's Diamond Jubilee and they ran 25,000 miles in 23,000 minutes. Your photo is not of a roadster though.Roadsters have side curtains, not roll up windows.............Mike

    One of the drivers was Ab Jenkins - the man who brought us Bonneville.
