The photographs here open in 1952 with photos of Dabney Collins with George Josephâ€™s 1952 Ferrari 340 American Spyder fitted with a Lampredi V12 at the Buckley Naval Air Station races in Aurora CO. A nicely annotated group of photos captures the racing cars of Charlie Hughes Bob Carnes and other drivers in the first Lookout Mountain Hill Climb in 1953 held up the 4.5 mile Lariat Trail from Golden CO to the top of Lookout Mountain.

Peffer & Sherman sorted the photo collection into race car drivers action shots and miscellaneous which includes photographs from Ted Wilson Doinseau-Rapho Briggs Cunningham Museum Strother MacMinn Thomas Milana Studebaker Ford D.M.

The photographs include those of Carroll Shelby driving one of his early Cobra prototypes Rex Mays Dan DePaolao Stubby Stubelfield Bill Schuffler Johnny Parsons Bill Stepp Earl Mansell and Louis Meyer Jr. â€œSonnyâ€ one of the most successful and accomplished engine builders in Indianapolis 500 history.

Spider Webb Bud Rose Harris Insinger in the Miller Special Gus Schrader Roland Frost Babe Stapp in his Cragar Special April 2 1933 Tony Radeitch Woestman McDowell & Pintorelli. After the Legion Ascot became too dangerous and closed down and AAA racing moved out of the West Coast the dirt track and gritty midget cars moved elsewhere.The Southern Ascot Speedway was a racetrack located at Atlantic and Tweedy Blvd. and ran from 1937 to 1942 now site of the Legacy High School Complex. Other race tracks represented in these photos include the Gilmore Stadium Speedway including photos of the open wheel Krause Offy Offenhauser or Jimmy Miller in the pits in the Scheffler Offenhauser special at Oakland Speedway or Bill Reed and Spud Hinkley at the San Jose Speedway. The Oakland Speedway was in San Leandro CA and was a banked dirt oval built in 1931 operated through the Great Depression and featured roadster motorcycle Big Car Stock Car Midget Car races and was the â€œfastest dirt track in the Nation.â€ Another historic race track capturing racers and races was the Mines Field race track including Stubby Stubblefield in 1934 today the site lies under LAX airport. Amidst the hundreds of photos are images of the concept car U.S. Discovery speed model designed by Marshall Space Flight Center Boeing Rockwell Lockheed and Cobalt Boats engines such as the Miller-Ford Motor Ford Motor & Front End Bentleys along with a myriad of photos of famed race cars and spots cars.

Heâ€™s also included photos of his Little Riley restored in Dehham Engladnd with Cecil Cuttonâ€™s famed Bugatti next to him along with photos of the rare and famous MG Tigresse. Of particular interest amidst the many different ALS & TLS sent to both Peffer and Sherman is the lengthy and detailed 3 p. letter ALS sent to Gene Sherman at the Briggs Cunningham Automotive Museum June 26 1968 in which Sara J. Hodge of Solana Beach CA describes and explains the founding of the first and largest automobile garage West of the Mississippi by her father Nathaniel Hodge and uncle Arthur Hodge listed in the 1902 Pasadena City Directory. Later named the Hodge Brothers Co. they produced and sold electric automobiles and she has included four historic copy photographs capturing the Hodge Brothers machine shop & garage factory and even a whole bank of 1902 Hodge Bros. EV cars charging. Another letter to Sherman documents the life of Briggs Cunningham after he had sold his collection and museum contents to his friends the Colliers they moved to Naples FL and explaining how their â€œhouse is not finished as yet so I donâ€™t believe we can move in until next year. . . I am busy with packing up the mags etc. ready to move. My new library will be larger tha the present one.â€ The scale model by Gene Sherman painstakingly recreates the famed So-Cal Speed Shop Streamliner. The car was built after Dean Batchelor a So-Cal Speed Shop customer sold his 1932 roadster to raise the capital and built by famed speed shop builder Alex Xydias who would take the body off the tank and subsequently build the Streamliner. Batchelor felt a small streamliner like the MG EX-135 was the best way to move forward on the design. The completed chassis was taken to Valley Custom in Burbank CA where Neil Emory one of the finest early custom craftsmen began working with aluminum to shape the Streamliner designed as a flattened oval with no compound curves. Early test runs at El Mirage ranged from 135 to 142 mph with a 156ci Flathead Ford and at the first Bonneville Nationals held in 1949 on the salt flats the So-Cal Speed Shop Special in iconic white and gold was the star of the show. In the midst of the runs they switched engines to an Edelbrock-built Mercury Engine and 190 mph. The car also achieved a 210.892 mph average a Class C Record and bagged the Hot Rod Magazine â€œTop Timeâ€ trophy. The next year after rolling in high winds Batchelor escaped serious injury and never raced again. Special note should be made of the Ted Wilson photographs although very little personal biographical information is known of him. He was inducted into the Sprint Car Hall of Fame shot historic racing photos during the 1920â€™s through 1950â€™s on California race tracks including Oakland Speedway Alviso Speedway San Jose Speedway at King Road mostly in a 4 x 5 format and was a pioneer in marketing his photos often running ads in racing and motoring periodicals at the time. He began purchasing other negative collections from other photographers and amateurs expanding his collection including Carroll Studio Roy Richerâ€™s the Crest Collection and the Douthat Speed Photo collection. Eventually the entire collection was sold to Bruce Craig and Vincente Alvarez and subsequently to Jeannie Hinnershitz and Dale Snyder partner to the Florida-based Collier family which took the collection private. He maintained ongoing relationships with Leigh Peffer often writing and selling him photos Gene Sherman at the Briggs Cunningham Museum and Briggs himself.
