    I know it's got a '35-36 radiator mechanical brakes and angle iron for mounts!!! Not something recommended for today's driving but very cool none the less.

    Roy Caruthers owns it, his name on here is racer5c he'll send ya lots of pics and history... like the lil' known fact of THAT EXACT 18" rear Halibrand fell of A.J. Foyts car costing him the 500 one year... It's even stamped "BOWES" and has the USAC safety stamps in it too.

    Killer thread fella's. I needed Model A roadster pics for some artwork... there were a couple here! :D
