We started a trivia thread over at another forum and it has been a lot of fun.
Here are the ground rules. It starts with one question. The first reply with the right answer gets the floor for a new question. It continues like that unless, A) the person who has the floor doesn't ask a new question, or B) no one gets the correct answer. In that case, the person with the floor asks a new question. No more than one question on the floor at a time, and discussion/clarification is welcome until the floor is taken over by a new question.
First question: In the 1952 Indy 500, what type of fuel was burned in the record-setting pole-position #28 car? Hint: it won pole position by a full 4 mph over the second-place Ferrari
A side note about Dean Jeffries. One of his famuse cars was the Mantaray Bubble car The base car he started was a 'Bird Cage" Maserati' One the auction market today that car is worth a million plus. He stripped it used the frame, brakes,tube structure and missolanious other parts. He threw away the drive train and body. I've heard him lament about his choice of a parts car.
These are tools correct? And this is a set correct? If they are a set is that the box they came in? They almost look like quick disconnects. Pneumatic?
And No, I don't have a Q to pose for the group, so I'll just throw it open to anyone who wants to jump in with something
How did I get it? Brian actually gave a BIG clue without realizing it when he commented on a 3 piece wrap-around windshield - so I went onto Giggle and Gargled "3 piece windshield" and got a gaggle of pix, two of which were the same pics Boothboy had posted, including a close-up of the sign in front of the maroon & silver one
This beauty is a 1935 Stout Scarrab. One of either nine or ten ( depending on who is the current expert). Powered by a Ford Flatty it is a rear engined automobile. The three speed transaxle was developed by Stout ( the same guy who designed the Ford Tri-Motor). It was the first SUV-Minivan-Van. it's claimed to be the first American auto without running boards. Aerodynamic, it was ahead of it's time. Very small production possibly because it cost a whopping $5000 just after the depression was over.
Joe, 496C Whoever jumps in first with a question go for it! Neither of you were completely right but you weren't completely wrong either.
Are those amber side marker lights? If so it was made after 1968. Also the tires and rims aren't correct. To wide for before 1953 . What ever it is either its not origional or it was made after 1967. Looks fiberglass to me.
I agree those fenders look glass and amber lights don't look right ,I will post the listing because I don't think it is right ,some one else take the floor,
Re the Red Sportscar looking thingy:
Amber side markers.
Amber parking/turn signals
Cowl Air intake for heater etc
triple wipers from a late British Sports car
Those bumpers
Those tires & wheels
General all around kit car appearance including fenders that REALLY have a glass look about them
I sorta suspect that there is not a lot of "pre-53" in it!
I guess I blew that one ,I had it as a Nash Panther which I never heard of ,Good reason LOL,
