Motion Pictures Identify this custom. 1935 racing film

Red Hot Tires 1935. Lots of cool early racing scenes. Midgets, dirt track and brick.
The garage scenes seem to be in a real shop or at least has real cars.

 

This “custom” is in the background of several scenes.
Roadster truck

 

The truck has a business name. The first part is covered up but you can make out “Plating Co”
Looks like a custom to me. Or something I’m not familiar with

 

More than likely a Robert Duvall designed. Ya, the windshield guy.

 

Here’s the movie.
Has some real good race footage along with some cheesy special effects. Definitely worth watching.

 

In one scene I can make out that the business starts with an S.
Looks like they covered up the name on purpose. It shows both sides of the truck. Both sides have the name covered up.

 

Looks kinda like an Aussie Ute to me.

 

Looked up Duvall truck.
These pics came up

 

This is the Atlas Chrome Plating Co. truck. Bob

 

I think the 36 belonged to George Duval.

 

This truck was built in the 30`s. The early days of customs. Along with a few others. A very cool post. Thank you.

 

I’ve never seen the truck before.
The sedan has always been one of my favorites.

 

Is that a Warner Brothers Movie? If you read through the auction info Mr. Kline was head of transportation at WB. The car sold at auction in 2017 for $7,260.000 Bob : 1914 PEUGEOT L45 GRAND PRIX TWO SEATERChassis no. 1Engine no. 1

 

Wonder if those guys had anything to do with the race cars in the movie with the truck being in the background so much

 

Yes for Warner Bros

 

Reread the first sentence. I`m guessing yes.

 

@nostalgia59 likely has some information, but I haven't seen his posts here, in years.

His thread on one of the Specials above, rules !!! His recreation is stunningly, full of detail.

Don’t know if this pic is from the movie.
3 interesting rides here.

 

The "Atlas Chrome", body by Frank Kurtis, simply out styled them all.

 

The movie truck is based on a 32 Ford roadster pickup. The lighter colored truck is based on a 29 Ford roadster pickup.

 

Noticed a “similar” grilled midget.

 

Wish I had spotted the auction the Peugeot boat tail racer was in, I,d have been all over that in a heartbeat

 

With what, drool?

 

Great to see a photo from the Bruce Craig collection, nice guy out of New Jersey that was able to buy a few major collections starting back in the 1960's. He had a bit of everything going back the real early stuff on glass negatives. Glad The Revs Institute for Automotive Research has them now. Bob

 

the brickyard?

 

Looks like the stands are full at ASCOT around 1932
