A face only a mother can love....PIC.

Tell me more.

 

Looks cool Mark.
You didn't buy that too did you?
What is it?

 

This is were the phrase "four eyes" came from!

 

Dislexic inspiration for the '64 Dodge?

 

It looks aquatic!

 

Wasn't that a Marmon something or another? I have a newspaper article somewhere from a Utah meseum that has or had it.
It was from around the same timeframe of the Pierce Arrow that the Cabbage Heads rebuilt at Hot Springs Village.
I thinkthe car was painted red and orange.

 

Looks like the Predator from that Arny movie.

 

The Meteor as I recall... Set early land speed records... I just don't remember the details... It looks even "better" from the side!

 

That's the Mormon (not Marmon) Meteor III. You can check it out at mormonmeteor.org

 

That car set records on the salt that still stand today!
And if it wasn't for Ab Jenkins (builder/driver) Bonneville would not be Mecca for hot rodders.
All hail the Mormon Meteor!!!!!!!

And as Art Arfons once said, "The faster it goes, the better looking it gets".

 

I didn't know if the Marmon Wasp, 1911, and later had the same lineage. On the other hand, Marmon was producing trucks, possibly cars, in that era.
Arkieneighbor, I'm sure you're correct on the name.

 

Dang some of the strongest salt heritage and no one knows what it is!! C'mon guys!

 

I knew what it was.... just had to Google it for the details....

When I saw the thread ***le I thought for sure this was going to be about me.

 

an awsome pice of history-thank you for sharing!!!!

 

These are never before seen pictures...they have been stashed away from that era.

 

can anybody here see a striking resemblance to the "second gen" Batmobile?

 

Why the headlights for salt flats racing, cl*** requirement?

Flatman

 

This is a pic of Ab Jenkins' first Mormon Meteor (Duesenberg), and it won best of show at Pebble Beach this year

 

Does anybody know how many large cars Ab Jenkins built for LSR or endurance record attempts? Previous to this, I only knew of the Pierce 12 Special. Hagerty Insurance used an old photo on one of their "postcards."
Neat photos! Thanks!

 

i sure wouldnt mind being the care taker of this beauty

 

the guy scratching his head in the side view must have given up finding the gas cap....
seems that all the others are trying to get pelvic energy from the
'big thing"

 

Thats the car that held 56 records,all set on the one day back in August 7th,1933.The headlights were on it because he drove for 24 hrs on a 10 mile circle track.Read all about in the Salt Lake City Times aka Bonneville Salt Flats by "Landspeed" Louise Ann Noeth.This guy was a champion on record breaking,maybe you blokes oughta read a bit more.Keep on roddin'.

 

Wow, that is all I see is Bat Mobile....
