hddennis Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Thanks a million for posting this. I have been in love with these for years but had no idea what they sounded like or were capable of on the track. To NOT use one of these for what it was built for would be a crime!

auburnseeker Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 That was pretty cool. Would it be a crime to put one of those engines in my non original Cord? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a formula 1 car Formula One didn't come into being until after WW2. This is a Grand Prix car, to the 1500 cc formula which applied when it was new.

alsancle Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 That is not the car that was used in the ARCA races is it? I think somebody was using an old Delage GP car as a "sports car" during the early years before WWII. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
