Carl Fisher, the founder of the Indy 500? Looks to be on a shortened chassis. Looks good now, and must have really been something back in its day. JWL

Oh yes, a 1920 Twin Six. Hitched a ride at the Santa Fe Concorso a few years ago.

Not the oldest, but a most memorable drive. It was in a 1939 Twelve Formal Sedan. It was equipped with the column shifter. I wonder what the percentage of Twelves were equipped this way? The car is in amazing non-restored condition. It was an driving experience not to be forgotten.
