There was a Hudson spl. there, if I remember correctly it was this

cockpit.
The Cat in the Hat was there, but Jack Dingman gave me the hat - he was
running a couple of Fords: 1) a "34 indy car" according to him; and 2) a
36ish roadster (we got to talking cause I wondered how they kept the
flathead cool). There was a 41 ex-mil car there. . . .
Anyhow, it was great fun to see some cars running. I saw some old wreck of
a car there that had mixture, timing and "govenor" controls right on the
steering wheel

- Wonder if I could even drive something like that . . . .
