Peterson's 1930 734 Speedster
Posted by West Peterson On 2017/10/20 10:18:52
Given the opportunity to bring the family's 1930 734 Speedster to my home for the summer, I decided to do some things and experiment with different appearances it could acquire by removing a lot of accoutrements. I am not a big fan of stone guards, extra lights, mirrors, etc.
In addition, this car was re-restored in 1999. While it achieved top honors with the Classic Car Club at the time, it was only able to acquire its AACA First Junior award. The reason for that, I believe, is that the car was restored for touring as opposed to show, and many parts that were put on the car were incorrect. Since that time, the car has been driven more than 15,000 miles, and very little if any cleaning has been done to it since 1999, other than wiping it off and cleaning the tires. It was a MESS.
