Charles Hayer or Charles Heyer? According to Hemmings this is "Luck 13" made by Charles Heyer, it had a home built body on a 1927 Buick chassis with a straight six engine. The six exhaust pipes confirm this and the cantilever rear springs prove the Buick origin of the chassis. Why the Ford wheels, I don't know?

Quote:
"Seen this car? Charles Heyer of Cedar Grove, New Jersey, is hoping somebody can help him track it down. In his words:
I recently picked up the February 2008 Hemmings Classic Car and came across the Lost and Found page. It happened to be covering some old racers and I thought of a race car my dad and friends built in 1933-34. It was raced in a bare bones condition at the old Parsippany-Troy Hills Track in New Jersey, but after his driver rolled another car, my dad retired it and converted it to street use. The body was all hand made and dropped on a '27 Buick chassis with a straight 6.
When I interviewed one of his old friends in the late '70s he said the last known location was in a garage in Montclair, New Jersey, but that might have been in the '40s! So this cool old gal, known as "Luck 13″, is a LOST member of the Heyer family. Perhaps your readers might like to take a look at this photo of an example of good ol' American creativity back in the 1930s"
