This is the Ray Brown roadster. also known as the 99C roadster.

 

Milwaukee, Wisconsin 1st Rod-O-Rama, August, 1954

Owned this one in the late seventies. Olds engine, columbia, stewart warners etc. etc. tim

 

Burkhart, Brammer, & Burns, Potvin-blown Desoto, Mike Burns, who worked the counter at Weiand, drove, big George Burkhart and Everett "Hippo" Brammer owned the car...they retired it after the lighter roadsters made it obsolete, and after the Sadd, Teage, and Bentley roadster was badly damaged in a return road accident at Bonneville, the Burkhard, Brammer, and Burns roadster gave up its body as a replacement...Hippo was a Blair's regular, and could entertain for hours with racing stories...died a few years ago

 

Thanks for the info. I always wondered what happened to this roadster. It gave it's body for a good cause.

 

Oh my.

 

Oh my part II.

 

Should we also ignore the late model pickup/SUV parked in front of it?

 

i posted a bunch from my personal collection here:

Some of my favorite pics in color. The background is as interesting as the motive.

 

What the hell are the wheels on the back of this deuce? They look like tractor wheels?!
