  Thanks for coming and sharing the car with the visitors at the Vanderbilt that day.Mark Dill is right your picture does look like a brochure. I hope the Vanderbilt museum and the ALCO with Howard and John can become regular visitors to the courtyard of Willy K.——it was a treat
        Thanks again

I love that photo, too. Looks like something out of a brochure.

Howard,

Thanks for the mention, but some credit needs to go to Rich Motycka for that as well.  I plagiarized him a little from previous material we had on file!

Great seeing you yesterday!

Howard,

The scene where one of the cars hit the barrier and flipped over looks horrific, did the driver and mechanic survive?

Sorry, I have no photos or info on my dad’s cars, although I would not be surprised if he hadn’t designed the shell for the tow-car.  He was a mechanical engineer and designer.  Wish I could be of more help, but his racing days were before my time.

From Grand Prix Motors Mystery Solved!

I recently saw 2 breeze autos.  The owner said they were the only 2 surviving. He said they were #1 and #3. They are located in Appomattox, Va. The owner is from New York so these are probably the ones you saw.

The maps of the 1908 Vanderbilt course, the 1937 Vanderbilt course and Roosevelt Field and the Motor Parkway are in my Lost Race Tracks book.

Can’t wait to see the 40 cars we build for the movie do a lap around the Indianapolis Motor Speedway race weekend 100 years to the day later…
