  1. LOL! Yeah... If you post cool old pictures of cool old race cars here you gotta expect us to pester you with questions. And requests for more pictures. :rolleyes:

    Here's a thread I started a couple of years ago with some vintage pics from the old Ft Wayne Speedway. Think there's at least a couple cars and drivers from the Churubusco area.among them.

  2. Although quite uncommon in American production cars, this is a great example (and visual) of a De Dion front axle.

    Ok guys, my mom finally sent me a pic of the back of the picture. Let me know if this unlocks some more doors.

    Pretty likely this is one of the guns on the wall.
