the 1939 first meeting of the Vintage Motor Car Club of America - it had some interesting and rare cars out at a fun event, seeing if they could balance on a teeter totter for example


so, does anyone recognize this speedster? I've never seen a windscreen like this!



More than 75 veteran cars participated that September day. Celebrities attending the event included Freeland O. Stanley of Stanley Steamer fame, Charles B. King (the first person in Detroit to design, build, and drive a self-propelled automobile), race car driver Fred Marriott, who set the world land speed record of 127.6 miles per hour in the Stanley Rocket, and Ralph DePalma, the racecar driving champion who won the 1915 Indianapolis 500.
