The Cup is massive…..big enough for a kegger, ice and all…...no doubt that one stood in the middle of a room as the centerpiece. The ‘36, ‘37 Vanderbilt Cup needs a bit more loving…..it is part of the lineage and the break in time was worth study in auto design, speed and importance of technology and how much it had advanced since the dawn of speed.
