1933 Pontiac race car.

The engine has remained largely stock. Only a dual carburetor was installed on the engine to gain a little more power. The 3-speed transmission was retained. The electrical system has been converted to 12V, so the engine is now equipped with an alternator. An electric fan and an electric fuel pump have been installed to improve reliability. The engine runs very smoothly and produces a throaty sound thanks to its side-mounted exhaust.

Since the car travels quite fast thanks to all the modifications made, the brakes were upgraded to hydraulic brakes, and alloy brake drums were installed to improve braking performance. As for handling, the leaf springs were paired with Hartford friction shock absorbers at the front and rear. The 18-inch spoked wheels are fitted with BF Goodrich tires, and the car has been equipped with an identical spare tire. Other details that contribute to the car’s fantastic appearance include the leather tool bag on the driver’s side, the brass trim, the dark red leather interior, the small windshield, and its paint job. A full tonneau cover is included with the car to protect it on rainy days.
