It's 1/16 scale- an old Hudson Miniatures kit, (I buy to build). You could call it multi-media. It consists of balsa wood, bristol board, steel wire, pipe cleaners and a handful of plastic parts. The instruction sheet is basically a to-scale blue print.

They're good starting points. I'm not quite a scratch builder yet, so they give me something to work with. This was a touring car that I decided to make as a two-seater. It's also possible to build one in plastic or metal using the blueprints from the kit. I've just started working on a 1911 E-M-F racer that ran in Savannah.

I believe Oscar Koveleski's dad was the guy behind Hudson Miniatures. I guess you could say that apple (Oscar and his Auto World) didn't fall too far from that tree.spyder

There are a few open wheel racers in their catalog- including the Vanderbilt-Cup winning Locomobile "Old #16."
