Thanks to M Currie for recommending I look at the illustrations of Ray Kuns! His book covers and illustrations have style!



Kuns authored the books Automotive Essentials, Automotive Service, Automobile Racing, Automobile Engineering, Auto Mechanics,

And guys built to those plans...  this 1933 Ray Kuns designed race car was built to the 1933 American Automobile Association rules for Big Car Sprinters

 
This racer has a 92″ wheel base, Franklin steering box, ’34 Ford rear, 9/11 gears with safety hubs, Eskimo radiator, ’59AB Ford Flathead, 12v starter, ’49-’53 rods, adjustable lifters, ’59A oil pump, and a Edmonds intake

  1. It's rare to see actual blueprints. I wonder how many people know how they got their name?

    1. and even more rare to find any of hot rods! I've posted blue prints several times many years ago, for schematics, architecture, etc but it's quite uncommon to see any!
