From: Paul Stenquist 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

Probably a Type 35 replica ... http://www.scottysclassiccars.com/cars/description/bugattireplica.html You can see what appears to be a VW style exhaust system under the tail end in Paul's photo. Also - http://www.kitcar.com/articles-kitcar/nckcc98/home.html ... about halfway down the page.

I think it's a 1930s race car. Probably an Indy car. The maker is unknown to me. It could also be an early grand prix car, possibly an Alpha. If I can hunt it down in the next few days, I'll find out. I'm curious as well. I was thinking I might be able to match the tail and the cowling

Hi Jack, Thanks. At very slow shutter speeds (1/4 second here), only the center point of the arc remains sharp when you pan. It's an effect, and the execution is rather hit and miss. More miss than hit:-). Paul On Aug 13, 2007, at 11:17 PM, Jack Davis wrote: Good shutter choices and timing.
