Hi all. This photo was taken sometime in the '20's. My grandmother sits behind the wheel with a friend beside her. The photo was probably taken in the San Fernando Valley in So Cal, but I am not sure about that..... Any additional info would be appreciated! Thanks.
What a great picture. I am not able to help identify the race car but I can tell you that RaJo speed parts were built right here in Racine, Wisconsin. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rajo_Motor_and_Manufacturing
Ok, this is weird but I am answering my own question.... I just found these images from the December 23, 1928 edition of the Los Angeles Sunday Times..... It was a promo photo for the soon to be open Legion Ascot Park Speedway in El Sereno, CA http://www.elserenohistoricalsociety.org/Legion_Ascot_.php ... different from the more famous Ascot in Gardena.... The last time I looked up info on this was about 15 years ago and I found nothing.... I love the internet!
That is amazing. I laughed out loud reading the pair of queens and 4 Jacks caption under the photo from the paper right when some kid on American idol was being real serous about telling his life story and got a funny look from my wife. Had to do some explaining and show her the photo you posted first.
So Cool! Thanks. Any idea where that was photo was taken? Love the headlights and that crazy logo/badge on the grill. Looks like it was also sponsored by a tuxedo wearing dentist. Ha....
