OHV four cylinder, 118" wheelbase, $5,100-$5,300. Do any Leon Rubay cars still exist? If one has survived I have never seen or heard of it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Larry Schramm 3,300 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 (edited) For some period pictures, here are some pictures from our family album. They are pictures of Jimmy Murphy and my great uncle Ernie Olson. Uncle Ernie was my Grandma Schramm's brother. He was a riding mechanic in the day. They won the Indianapolis 500 and the Race at LeMans back to back. The first all American team to do that and they were driving a Dusenberg. They used a Miller engine for the Indy race. 1921 French Grand Prix finish Flowers at the end of the French race Start of the 1922 Indy 500. Note the brick racing surface. AKA the moniker, The Brickyard Finish line at the Indy 500 The car now at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum Edited January 24 by Larry Schramm (see edit history) 9 Link to post Share on other sites

Either there were/are two of the stretched Cords, or perhaps the same vehicle slightly modified. The first attached Cord is the funeral/ambulance model, the second photo shows a stretched Cord, but it has a roof rack and a radiator-mascot on the hood. Luggage rack on a funeral car? I have to get one of those! Link to post Share on other sites

Always loved the garage photos I guess your word 'Stanley' is a Typo? These are Standard cars. I know someone who owns one of these - the model designation is SLO which is rather unfortunate as it actually goes very well bearing in mind its small engine size and age - early 1920s. I think Standard Triumph - by then part of British Leyland were still building cars at Canley into the 1980s. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

They also had a substantial workshop. They were Hupmobile agents in that era. I presume the cars in the foreground are new ones being prepared for sale - 3 Link to post Share on other sites
