From the grill on the car second in line I believe this is a Studebaker. It looks like those I have seen in Indy pictures.

Thanks for the memories Joe.

RE: post #8281. That is from 1937 or '38. Herb Ardinger car #54 per the sign in the foreground. I think the front car is his with the Studebaker next.

Yes, it's the 1937 race. Car #53 in 1937 is the same car that ran as #22 in 1932. Later, it was owned by Virgil Exner Sr. and used as a personal sports car for many years, then re-acquired by Studebaker in 1952. It is currently in the Indy 500 Museum having been restored at the Studebaker factory by Ed Reynolds, Sr. for the 1962 race events as #22. It was later sold/given to Andy Granatelli. The car is in the basement of the museum, makes rare appearances, and is not allowed outside the museum, possibly because of some questions about who actually owns the car now.
