Thomas Luce All Messages By This Member #78140 That definitely looks very cool, but, full disclosure,? I'd rather have a 1958 red and white Murray Ranch Wagon pedal car, matching what I had as my first Hot Rod a long time ago in my previous life. I certainly couldn't fit in it so it would be living room carpet art. I have a list of various items from 60-65 years ago that I would procure and put into a trophy case but I'd have to hit the lottery before I could afford them. And I still dream of obtaining The Mother Load of jalopy racing photos from Southern California.? -- Thomas Luce Manhattan Beach CA USA
Bob Storck All Messages By This Member #78141 Ah, but that didn't come with ties to the lion who still resides in the National Air and Space Museum, along with his pal Roscoe Turner's air racer. Remember that Roscoe not only was great buddies with Eddie Rickenbacker, sporting his Sam Browne belt uniform at many Indianapolis 500s, but became the image that so many WWII aviators sought to emulate! ? toggle quoted message Show quoted text -----Original Message----- From: <[email protected]> Sent: Nov 13, 2024 10:57 AM To: <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [RH] I'm going to have to outbid Tom Luce for this original Gilmore midget! ?

Thomas Luce All Messages By This Member #78142 I do have a Roscoe Turner connection, sort of. Turner made sure that Carmen Schroder got the vast majority of his Ascot Park novelties upon his death. Carmen,? in turn, gave me absolute carte blanch access to all of it, and was incredible in her generosity. She allowed me to have all the duplicate items related to jalopies. She saved me 10 years of research for my jalopy book. Roscoe Turner had the wisdom to save tremendous amounts of historical items and Carmen Schroder allowed access. 2 incredible people!!! ? -- Thomas Luce Manhattan Beach CA USA
Bob Storck All Messages By This Member #78143 The Rickenbacker era at Indy was rich with his involvement of real achieving celebs of the day plus glamorous major movie stars of both sexes. Turner was a WWI pilot, turned barnstormer, movie stunt pilot and air race winner so he fit right into Eddie's sphere, especially with his Gilmore Oil sponsorship. ? He was the Starter in '33, and an Indy official for years later. Roscoe's Indy association continued on solidly into the Hulman era. He owned an airport on Long Island which housed his museum. When development closed it down, the Smithsonian was the big beneficiary, ending up with his perpetually winning? Meteor and "Gilmore." Roscoe and Tony with their wives and Gilmore ? RHer Ken Triplett shares a lot of the lore: ?

Chuck Fawcett All Messages By This Member #78144 开云体育 Many times I see "restored" items like this in what is supposed to be Gilmore livery, but they never get the color right.? Most use this cream and dark red combination which was never used by Gilmore.? Gilmore used a brilliant yellow and bright red.? ? I have a restored Gilmore gas pump and pedal car that are in the correct colors that were mixed by paint master Stan Betz.? Stan was a Gilmore collector, and he matched the colors to a pristine Gilmore sign in his collection. -- Chuck Fawcett Westminster CA USA
