Isn't that Joel Thorne and George Robson looking over the 1946 Indianapolis 500 winner, Joel Thorne Special?

That's not a Thorne-Sparks  "Big-Six". Other than the car and Robson, you are correct.

Locked for you.

I jumped in with no research on that one at all. It stood to reason that there must be more to it than that.

1938, Joel Thorne and Art Sparks looking over the Sparks-Thorne Little 6.
