Period RACE CAR Images to Relieve some of the Stress


Recommended Posts

Christie race car possibly in NY City when new and with little road use ( notice how clean the car is)

I knew I had this photo someplace and just relocated it. Sorry to take so long to post Steve!  I have to many projects going on at once and am enthusiastic about everyone.

If Billy doesn’t qualify, I don’t know who does! Is that a monster Miller barrel throttle carb on the 4 Banger ?

What was His time ? Where is it now?

Do you have any more photos of the Comet? That's a very interesting car.

Video of Palm springs races in 1955. My favorite part: A car catches fire and corner workers attempt to put it out by throwing dirt on it!

Those were the days!

Metro, what is this? Do you have any other info?

I see a large chain drive car with straight pipe exhaust from a T head motor. Could be Loco but I'm not sure. It has the deep dish front axle . Funny, the driver seems to have a pipe in his mouth. The seat looks like it might be off a fire truck.

 

"Barney Oldfield aboard a Stearns racer at the Pasadena-Altadena Hill Climb in 1908. He finished second twice in four years at the annual event up along what later gained fame as Christmas Tree Lane."

That explains the looks of a pipe in the driver's mouth. Barney Oldfield always had a cigar there.
