Thanks for firing this optical broadside. The above shown car of the magician Howard Thurston (who pulled not only rabbits but sometimes even bunnies out of his hat) seems to be equipped with wodden-spoked wheels, not the latest cut in 1932.
The description of the below attached pic says: "Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh inspected the new Diesel type of airplane motor, designed by L.M. Woolson, a Packard engineer, at the Packard Motor Car company's factory yesterday, accompanied by Major Thomas Lanphier.
Both Lindbergh and Lamphier expressed themselves as highly pleased with the motor which uses furnace oil instead of gasoline for fuel, depending on the compression of air to bring the mixture to the point of ignition.
