Re: [HSS] Super Six Racer Pic

Hi Paul,



This photo turns up quite frequently. I think the guy has either a negative

or a very good print and he's doing a nice little business selling prints.

Good luck to him. The car's not a racer in the true sense. It's the one

that was driven by Ralph Mulford in 1916 to set a new 24-hour record of

1,819 miles (see page 50 of the Butler book). It looks as though for

publicity purposes fenders, valances, running boards and spare wheels were

put back in place so that it looked more like a "standard" Super Six. The

giveaway is the absence of a winscreen and the shape of the cowl with the

little lip that might have worked as a wind defelctor. On the other hand,

there could have been two cars - one to set records and the other for

publicity. I'd be happy to get my mitts on either of them!



Cheers..............Peter R.
