Oh boy! Nice "farm"; nice "jalopy". But those fellers should have had some ear protection before heading out on that jaunt.

Poor guy can't afford a new car or a home in the city.

Fabulous! Thanks Bill. It was common practice, in that car's era, to take an aircraft engine and build a race car around it.

Doubt it's over 50 hp, and likely less. Not a need for much tire. My old Austin 4 cyl. was rated 8hp, and guesstimates said it was likely more at the crank.
