I found him with 2 different names Eugene Von Arc/Arx,but only one more pic of the car.

 

One more

 

Thanks! The photo is still a big help with the restoration.

 

Wow! THANK YOU for both photos, the front view with the fenders mounted is a big help. The fenders turned with the steering. The frame on this car is really unique, it looks to have two rear sections grafted together so there is a kick up at both ends allowing it to sit lower. The body is wood based with sheet metal formed over it, typical for a coach built body.

George Riley set the standard for the genre, so I dug out a couple of pictures of his heads. The first is an AHRF/Julian Doty shot of Eugene Von Arc's little street rod from before the war featuring a set. This was a classy ride and according to Isky (Ed Iskenderian) from a conversation two days ago the car is alive and well and undergoing a restoration.

Julian Doty is seen at Muroc in July 1941 pushing buddy Arnold Birner's lakes job to the starting line.

Ever smiling Julian Doty is seen on the right while stationed in France during WWII.

Julian Doty climbs in Roy Creel's roadster at El Mirage in 2002 for a ride after many years. He is surrounded by a bunch of his buddied who came to cheer him on.

A zillion years of race history is being discussed by two old timers. Julian Doty, left and Dan Iandola are seen at the Dry Lakes Racing Hall of Fame "Gas-Up" in 2009 telling each other lies.

Some people have started with less than this.

 

Again Thank You! This group is amazing! Every bit of information and photos help fill in the blanks to the car’s history.

Amen!

 

This is a...ahem, unique name for a car club. I don't think the guys in this car club would ever have to worry about another club stealing the name, that's for sure!
