Just a note to let you know that the #45 Maserati V8RI driven by Wilbur Shaw in the 1937 George Vanderbilt Cup race is being restored by Fred Puhn in National City, California. The car had been greatly modified over the years including being turned into a sportscar with a Chrysler Hemi motor. Fred has put in tremendous effort in tracking down correct parts and fabricating the needed pieces to complete the car.

This is a great site. I love the old races. I am particularly interested in the Fairmount Park races in phila. 1908-1912. Do you have any info on them?

Hi Bob:

I try to have a focus on the Vanderbilt Cup Races and Long Island. Here is one reference to the Fairmont on this website:

I can also recommend a book “The Fairmont Motor Races (1908-1911)” by Michael Seneca.


Enjoy,

Howard
