I had never heard that Fonty Flock ever drove a Studebaker. This is a modified Studebaker, but still a Studebaker. I found this over on the H.A.M.B. this evening.
The explanation of the picture on the H.A.M.B. post is as follows: " this is the Golden 33 built for J. P. Rotton (my uncle) by Hugh Babb. J.P. was the race promoter. That is the builder Hugh Babb and sometime driver, Fonty Flock. The car had a front mounted blower on a Packard engine. The engine was placed just about in the middle of the car. It was a screamer." The "my" in the above refers to the person who posted the picture. I personally would love to see a picture of the engine in that coupe.
