  1. the red car was originaly marketing as the Golden Seal that Race Indy in 1932 and 1933. Has Nothing to do with that car at all. Nonetheless, is a beautiful car and looks well done...but is, obviously not the original that raced in Indy and not even a replica of that car. Engine, tranmission, chassis, body, axles...everything in the Red Chrysler is different to the green one in Hershey and the original car. Only similarity is the #14
  2. Gary...Let me find out.. I don't think so, at least not from my readings..But let me check specifically. I know that a REO that Raced in Indy end up being a very famous car in Argentina. The Golden Seal was made there and brought here to race in Indy 2 years in a row...but again, beautiful but too heavy for the brickyard. I ll get back to you with some info about the Stud
  3. that car has nothing original..is not even a recreation of the car they said it was. IT doesnt look even similar to the Golden Seal that raced alongside Gary's Studebaker. Which is really incredible is the price someone paid for that car that dont even have 1 Windfiled carb or the right gear box. axels, etc.
  4. Gary...I think reklus is not the best example of good product. They could look good, but you will find a lot of half ass details in the cars. They had been pumping the brand with a lot of marketing lately thou Some people complaint about PurSang Bugattis, but between the two, there is a world of difference in quality and reliability. Pursang make amazing cars. Back to the question why so many cars in Argentina? In the 30's Argentina was the 5th country in amount of cars in the world. Ford, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Kaiser, had factories there. Lot of unique American and European cars were founded there. Plus, while in the US the races happen in ovals, in Argentina as well as in Europe, they raced in open roads, from town to town, from the early 20's till the 80's in a category later on called TC (Turismo Carretera) were Fangio started. In the Ovals, the Millers were almost impossible to beat. Only the Stud team (do you know anything about it?..heheh) and few others can compete, but on the open road races, you find from a MB SSK to REO, Chrysler, Hudson, etc. Heavy but stronger cars for the open roads..Mainly big straight 8s. In the 50's, the formula 1 raced there and there were a lot of argentineans racers in the European circuit. Pagani, De Tomaso, Berta, Fangio...are the product of the deepest passion you can find in the Pampas, only matched by football https://www.instagram.com/p/C6MYe5PLFZe/
