History Auto racing 1894-1942

I recently found this photo in with a collection of photos that I picked up for The Old Motor. Neat photo of Jack Flemming In his Pope-Hartford which looks to be brand new or reconditioned.The photo is clear enough to read Michelin on the tires.

 

I wonder how many 50 horse Popes had that body. Dave Buck was killed in a similar bodied car.

saacha,
I found this on the web and it's the same old photo i have in my Automobile Encyclopedia book. Not much info to go with it.

 

Yeap, seems that's all we have on this car that has a rather interesting history connected to the "Charlatans" Peugeot people. Thanks all the same Model A Keith.

 

Sorry,reply was for Kurtis, let's wait and see if Model A Keith has a suprise.

 

Can you share everything you know about the company. I have searched and found quite a lot but most of the text is Latin and i find it very difficult to understand after translating.

 

More of the '11 National

 

slightly OT...but these were the 2 cars this guy was racing at the Historics...

First time I met David he drove up in a Rambler station wagon.... he was in truck driver's greens. One great guy. AND a real member of the ''Don't let them see your money club''

illuminating? not enough for me ...

 

The 1878 Green Bay to Madison steam buggy contest has been discussed here before and understandably it ruffled a few feathers of some members. A few weeks ago our good friend David, head honcho at The Old Motor, posted a short story about this historical event that took place in Wisconsin as well as an accompanying photo of one of the machines, the Oshkosh. He also provided a link to a 1921 article published in the Capital Times newspaper that i find highly interesting and recommend everyone to read.

Did anyone in New England catch sight of the Great Race this week? If so, take a look at the steering gears in the replica of the Marmon Wasp Indy car that Coker built. IS it authentic? Looked pretty simple. I didn't have a camera when I saw them at the AACA museum on Tuesday.
