Vintage shots from days gone by!

Not me colorizing, I prefer the B&W originals!
BUT, people like color shots.
Most are too gaudy and un authentic color in my opinion.
I cannot speak of my avatar vehicle.

 

I believe that is at the old Oakland mile and is the insides of the well known Sta-Lube Spl. often driven by Bud Rose in the late 30s. It was a Champ car but was only raced on the west coast. The engine was a pretty rare dohc 215 C.I. Cragar. Still lives in a private collection.
