and the photo below is of the top of the air filter pie tin.


the word on the Jockey Journal is that the company of Stelling and Hellings went out of business in the 60's,  and sold air filter housings, and motorcycle handlebars http://www.jockeyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10084

I learned of this last november: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2012/11/anthony-boosalis-found-65-cobra-427-sc.html

this video was a good look at the 1990's running of the race, and it included clips from the 1950's and 60's to show the history of the race. It did a good job of explaining what brought the race to being, and how it's changed. One of the most unusual cars that has been in the race is the above, which I think is a Cadillac with an airplane greenhouse mated to the top instead of the cars windows, A and C pillars, and roof

it appears in the video at minute 56 and 50 seconds , and 57 and 10 seconds

And the 2nd article was a multi page interview with Parnelli Jones, mostly about the Indy 500

Here he is bringing the old race car home


working on it in the garage





the love interest, she drives her own cool old brass era car



until they fall in love and go for drives in the country (Below)


and then the plot of the 2nd half (after intermission) is that they go rescue grandpa from a castle

 I can not make out the brass script on the radiator, St Louis maybe?
 and they make this cool car fall apart.
