37 Winner, Shaw's Pay Car

[Deleted]

This is Bill Jorgenson's version of Wilbur Shaw's 1937 Indianapolis 500 Winning, "Pay Car."



You've all seen the one of Gary Doucette's I did with the help of Fred Lombardo, Bill's version is more accurate and much easier to build.



Bob Clidinst's drawings of the "Pay Car" are much needed for both kits, they help settle where things should go. Both are stunning when completed. This one now sits in the Indianapolis Hall of Fame Museum in the display of winning cars.

Best to you!

Very nice! I also have hopes that mine turns out as well some day.

Quick question, what paint did you use? Looks like a cream/milk white?

They sure were a bunch of behemoth beasts back then another nice tribute to the Indy 500 legacy Russ.

Very nice work Russ. This is definitely on my to-do list!
