It looks like the 1938 Reo which tows a Curtiss Aerocar which is exhibited in the Petersen Automotive Museum, otherwise known as Hubert Eaton's Vagabond

This car is not here: http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=7705.0 , but it should be, according to place and year.

Horace Oldfield's 'Spirit of Tomorrow'?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #9 on:** November 29, 2009, 02:07:48 PM »

You found it!

This is indeed the "Spirit of Tomorrow", built by Johnny Norton and Horace Barney (Basil) Oldield in 1938.

1936 Stout Scarab

Not a Stout Scarab.
It's actually built later than that.
