John W Reid Posted April 21, 2018 Author Share Posted April 21, 2018 (edited) These airshow cars were used for car to plane transfers as well as car/airplane racing mostly for the crowds' entertainment.This one has seen it's day and is now rusting away behind the hangar.

John W Reid Posted May 6, 2018 Author Share Posted May 6, 2018 Here is another newer airshow car under construction that I modified for the same diorama."Keepers of the Flame 1919-1929." The extension on the back is for car- plane transfers by the wing walkers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
