The Classic 1940’s Hot Rod Pin Up shots I remember so well from those early copies of Hot Rod Magazine  that I managed to purchase, with great difficulty, here in England. Katja Cintja leans elegantly on the rear wheel. From HERE

DIESELPUNK Quote :—”The actor Rudolf Valentino ordered an Isotta-Fraschini for his use because he wanted a car built in his native Italy. He commissioned Ray Dietrich at LeBaron to design and build a special roadster body. As it turned out, LeBaron was not equipped to construct bodies, so the order was placed with Fleetwood in Pennsylvania to build a special roadster body for $25,000. Unfortunately, Valentino died at age 31, two months before Fleetwood finished the car. However, the roadster was so exceptional that it became the star attraction at the manufacturing facility.” From HERE

DIESELPUNK Now this is a puzzle. The radiator is Packardish but I don’t think it is Packard. The car is obviously destined for hot climes and the flag suggests it is some British Dependency. From HERE

DIESELPUNK My sister’s friend’s father, the bloke who introduced me to motorbike racing, owned a black Austin A90 like this, the drop head. We used to roll up at Olivers Mount for the Scarborough Road Races  in some style.The hood was worked  by hydraulics, magic in the 1950’s. It would do just over 90 and did on the dual carraigeway near York. (No speed limits then). A factory one broke 63 stock car records at  Indianapolis From Kitchener Lord  HERE
