I agree that it's probably a replica. Blowing up the hi-res version, I can see that the radiator cowling appears to be a curved piece of thin steel that is bolted to the framework. Could be a garage- engineered replica. Although it might also be an early, independent Indy roadster. Many of those were home-built one offs. Obviously, the wheels and headlights were a recent addition. Paul On Aug 15, 2007, at 11:34 PM, Kenneth Waller wrote:
