^^^^ very Cool ride - like the special racing tires too

 

The first attached shot looks like Al Ketter, probably around 1950 Ketter ran with the old Mississippi Valley group and was fairly successful. Believe it or not but both Jim Hurtubise and Bobby Unser won features in that association as well.

The second shot is obviously a Les Anderson car but I'm not really seeing anything that rings a bell. Do you have any more information on this car?

Thanks Rootie!

 

What is the story on that front axle ?

.

 

Near as I can tell that is the car Anderson built around 1947 using some body parts from a old Maserati that was originally brought over for the Vanderbilt races back in the 30s. I believe this is the car he took to Indy in 47 with Kennedy tank sponsorship.

 

Must be Jake's car!

 

I bet you meant 1956.

 

The original "British Invasion".

 

There's a lot of smoke inside those wires waiting to escape.
