For a short history of the remarkable 1920's racer...See Below:

Craftsmen formed a frame of wooden ribs measuring up to 3/4-inch thick which were covered with 1/8-inch wooden veneer. 

Strips of rare wood of uneven thickness and length were fastened to the veneer with thousands of brass rivets.

The body was then sealed, sanded and varnished;

 when fully equipped, the body was to have weighed

 approximately 160 pounds.  

The boat tail enclosed a 46-gallon gas tank for long distance racing.

The exceptional machine was driven to a sixth at the Targa Florio. 

The racer also competed in the Coppa Florio where it finished fifth overall and first in class. 

Upon completion of these events, the car was retired from racing and modified for regular road use.

 Initially the car was equipped with very elegant 'flowing blade' fenders. 

These were later replaced with more substantial wings, similar in shape to the torpedo body.
