For Customs & Hot-Rod lovers, here's what I found in an old magazine.
No details, no name, nothing at all.
2 points for a correct and motivated ID.

Is that the Red Barron? (no pun intended)

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #2 on:** December 04, 2009, 04:33:36 AM »

I've got a color picture of this car here somewhere. I'll dig it up.

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #3 on:** December 04, 2009, 07:07:11 AM »

Wow, it already got a name!

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #4 on:** December 06, 2009, 04:03:48 AM »

Can't find the pic.

I'd be pretty surprised if Ray or Metalshapes doesn't have this one filed somewhere.

Ray B. · « **Reply #5 on:** December 06, 2009, 04:19:59 PM »

I don't. I keep very few files.

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #6 on:** December 26, 2009, 02:10:09 PM »

I don't know this car, but if Otto is right....

I'm fairly certain that Otto is correct. Here is a link posted on Forgotten Fiberglass that shows the same car or at least body and setup with the Red Baron paint scheme.

So THAT's where I saw it!

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #9 on:** December 30, 2009, 03:22:56 PM »

Well, following that link, and working backwards to the airplane's builder, I'll concede this car was probably given that name as a promotional tie-in with the plane, and was built some years before the 1975 Reno Air Races.

What it was called when new, I have no idea.

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #10 on:** January 07, 2010, 07:22:38 AM »

Is there any additional info about this 'Red Baron''?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #11 on:** January 08, 2010, 03:42:05 AM »

I sent an e-mail to the owner of the aviation page, he was kind enough to respond, saying he didn't know anything about the car.

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #12 on:** February 10, 2010, 07:25:57 AM »

I would like to declare this solved...is there any info about this "Red Baron"?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #13 on:** March 21, 2010, 09:04:47 AM »

I can't solve my own puzzles, so I'll give you a clue I just found:
this car was shown at the 1966 Oakland Roadster Show.
The name of the builder is Ray Ke?*@#§ as you can read from my pic...

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #14 on:** March 21, 2010, 09:55:58 AM »

I think it says "Ray Keane's" or "Ray Kenna's"

Ray B. · « **Reply #15 on:** March 21, 2010, 10:07:14 AM »

The one just below was a former puzzle (or part of a group puzzle) that I can't find.

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #16 on:** March 21, 2010, 10:15:43 AM »

The one below is the Stiletto.

C'mon, this one is almost there!

Allemano · « **Reply #18 on:** April 27, 2010, 07:20:26 AM »

Is "Star" part of the name?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #19 on:** April 27, 2010, 08:20:58 AM »

I don't think you read the previous lines...

I'll sum up:
This car is called Red Baron and was shown at the 1966 Oakland Roadster Show.
I would like to move it to the solved section, but I would like also a name for the builder or any additional info.
On the small pic I posted there is a barely readable name...I was hoping someone got that magazine, or another one covering that event.

Allemano · « **Reply #20 on:** April 27, 2010, 08:27:14 AM »

I misunderstood. I thought it got this name later as it was painted in red... why should a pale car like this get such an odd name?

Allemano · « **Reply #21 on:** April 27, 2010, 08:42:18 AM »

Are you sure about the name, resp. do you have a larger copy of the last pic?
Somehow it looks different than "Red Baron"

Nope and nope. $:-\$

Ray B. · « **Reply #23 on:** April 27, 2010, 09:18:36 AM »

I'd say Ray Kendle.

The car's name i can't figure.

Allemano · « **Reply #24 on:** April 27, 2010, 09:23:30 AM »

I read something like "Star M..ta" maybe Star Meta, it could be also something like "Wax ...." though. $:-\$
and Ray Kendle/Kandle, yes!
