This is in my opinion one of the most beautiful cars ever! I have the master for this nearly done and will get some photos posted later next month. Lance   |

How did they ever get traction with treadless tires on bricks? Amazing!

Early use of offset - "The Lean"! Cool print!

Lance, I will start with at least four. Given that there were four in the 1935 race, that will be a good start.

How are you going to market it  I hope when it's finished you make like two dozen more and let them sit around on shelves in case someone out there needs to own one. I am going to do a dioramma of the car in the pits with the mechanics frying an egg on the steering box. Eddie Rickenbacher will be sitting on the pit wall with a plate in his lap, already heaped with bacon and toast. |

Lance:
I've been watching this on your garage area for a while...
This car, with various engines, qualified 15 times for the 500 between 1935 and 1947. It carried the first Novi into battle, in 1941. It was one of the first, if not THE first Indy car, that the Granatelli's owned. A huge variety of exhausts and paint schemes make it significant, even if it's best finish was 4th.
Also, it started a rift between Henry Ford and his son Edsel. The Ford factory, because of the lack of results, wouldn't return to Indy until 1963...
Thanks Lance; you can see I'm excited...
Kind regards,
Tim
PS:
I LOVE the wheels! TJ

Lance, those wheels & tires look great! Hope you make those available separately, you'd sell a lot of sets (at least to me!). The new web site looks good, too.

I'll also gladly take one of those. Also, do wheels and tires by themselves, there are a lot of cars that could go with these.
