You have identified the car correctly. What event was the car originally built for? LOCKED.

That's right. It was originally built for the 1911 Indy 500 and was rebodied and raced as the White Streak with Jagersberger who later founded the Rajo company selling tuning equipment for Ford Model-T cars.
