Yikes! That's a mean-looking grill!

I would name it Ole Number 41! What do I win?

I thought you said you didn't need any more free stuff?!

I want to say "Marmon." There...I said it..."Marmon." "Marmon." mmmmmMarmon.

Well said.

Not a Marmon. This car was named after its engine (also the name of a state)

Otto Puzzell · January 18, 2007, 11:00:18 AM

A US state?

Is it a Stutz/Wisconsin?

Looks like the Wisconson Sig Haugdahl special alright.

Yes! 1922 Wisconsin Special to unseat USAC champion Tommy Milton. The car was named after its 836 cubic inch Wisconsin Airplane 6-cylinder motor, which was directly connected to the rear wheels. The car was 192 inches (488 cm) long, 20 inches wide, and 250 horsepower.

6-cylinder motor, which was directly connected to the rear wheels

Following the example of the 1932 Alvis Prince described elsewhere in these pages. And you thought I was KIDDING! HAH!?!?!>?
