  1. This is a 1945 photo of a Midget racer. It is a tricky question -- Can anyone identify the maker and place of the photo?

    AAnderson 45 hit the nail. The midget was put together by GI's on Saipan during their downtimes from servicing B-29s. All materials used were from "scrap". God knows there was a ton of wrecked Japanese vehicles and wrecked Japanese and US airplanes to use as raw material.

    The photo came from the unit history book of the 500th Group, 73rd Wing, 20th AF.

  2. This is my great grandparents, my dad as a little tyke & a gaggle of cousins in Tucson about 1918-1919? Further review of my photo looks like my dad is about three, which would date the photo about 1918-19.

    The radiator shell should be a dead giveaway, but after hours of I'net search I cannot find a car with a similar radiator shell. Somebody must know what it is!

    I couldn't find any White autos in this time period with a "round" grill shell.
