Up
Miller ? Indianapolis ?
Not a Miller...
It looks like one of the cars raced under the early-30s "Junk formula". Is it based on a production car ?
Not based on a production car.
Obviously USA. "Balloon" tyres suggests twenties or thirties. Smooth tread means paved track which means Indianapolis. Not a Miller, not a 'junk formula' car. Larger than a Miller-era car.
Is it a Duesenberg at Indianapolis in 1930?
Indy, yes. Not a Duesenberg; not 1930.
There is hint about another part of this puzzle in my initial post.
A fast Pro point, I suspect
Miller engine?
:)
Any connection to Louisiana?
Thorne?
By saying "yes" to Indy, were you saying the photo was taken at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway?
If so, image is from the 1938 Indianapolis 500
The car is the Leon Duray Barbasol Special. Uses a Weil (or Weill) chassis and a supercharged Duray engine.
Driven by George Bailey.
George Bailey ? Not THE George Bailey, of Bedford Falls, proprietor of the Bailey Building & Loan ? ;D
Not that George. This one died in 1940. But his name did produce lots of wrong answers when I looked him up.
