Guest daytona Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Can anyone ID this car or plane?? I just bought the picture thought it was neat, both look a little home made. I dont have the photo yet so here is the ebay link.

oldcarfudd Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 The plane appears to be a Bleriot. It was a French design, and the first airplane to fly the English Channel in 1909. Many were built by others from Bleriot plans, I believe. No idea about the car.Gil Fitzhugh, Morristown, NJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryLime Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Looks like a race between Lincoln Beachy (flying) and Barney Oldfield (driving). Beachy died young in San Francisco for such stunts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryLime Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 OK.........It's not that. Beachey flew a Curtiss and Oldfield drove a Fiat. Neither one in this image. The plane does look much like a Bleriot Xl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
