I promise to keep mum and not start any further threads to keep the overworked moderators busy with my enthusiasm for somewhat obscure topics about motor vehicles. I have way to many ideas for topics and stories. There is just so much material that a conversation could be engaged in and is never mentioned about the cars we cherish and make us happy. Walt, I enjoy and learn from your posts and those of other "old-timers" in the hobby. Maybe someone should start a section for "Tall Tales" and stories of their experiences where members could post more extensive stories, a few hundred or 1,000 words. I have a few I would like to offer. Many wouldn't want to read through long posts but others would enjoy them. It would consume a lot of digital memory resources, but what a resource for future historians! Don 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately, I have good quality copies and maybe 1000 more of the Studebaker Indy cars. 1932 cars at Indy. 1933 cars and team at Indy. Same chassis as 1932, new cam and carbs for engines, and new bodies tested as scale models in U. of Michigan wind tunnel by grad student Kelly Johnson, later head of Lockheed's Skunk Works. Note Pierce-Arrow Silver Arrow car in background. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1937hd45 Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 At some time in the 1960's one of these bodies was loose, was it ever reunited with a chassis? Are all four still with us or are there now 5 or more. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a 1913 Ford, though it appears to have been updated with electric headlamps and cowl lights. I have been looking at period photos to see if there was pinstriping on 13 Fords. While I have met with mixed results, this photo presents a solid vote in the NO column. Thanks for posting it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsancle Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 I have a friend who drove one of these in College. I put it in the same category as the Tucker. If they were 1/10the price I would find them interesting. But at the crazy prices they sell for I would rather have an MGB which is basically the same thing to me.

Are all four still with us or are there now 5 or more. Bob Car #34 in this photo was converted to a sports car, not sure when but existed in the 1950s. Later abandoned in a field, reclaimed and restored with a new body by Brooks Stevens, now owned and raced by August Grasis III in Kansas City. Somehow, the original body still existed, appeared about 1965, is currently in California with a car being built under it. That project is not likely to be completed in the current owner's lifetime. The #9 car went to South Africa in 1935, was raced there until 1959, then the body and chassis were scrapped, and the engine installed in a 1928 Studebaker 7-passenger limo. That car still exists, was bought a few years ago by a collector. As Studebaker guru Richard Quinn has said, "Of the original five Indy cars, only six exist." Or, is it now seven, LOL? Car #34 as a sports car about 1951. Car #34 with other sports cars, 1951. The original body for #34 in 1965. The original body of #34 with a new chassis and engine under it. Faces obscured for privacy. Rear of the original #34 body on a new chassis. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
