The American Racing Special, a relative of the American Speedcar, as seen in Amelia Island 2025. Shoes off with this fully restored racer. Yours truly behind the wheel. I love this stuff!

Where was security?

@alsancle He was taking the picture. 😅

@TomLaferriere Good job. You made me laugh.

Chain drive cars are always great. Thanks for posting the picture.

Tom, you play with the most interesting stuff. Thanks for sharing. I remember over a decade ago when I first started falling in love with pre-War Classics stumbling upon a video you had posted, maybe 12 years ago about pulling a dark and dusty, forgotten Packard 12 out of hibernation into the light and bringing it home in cold weather and going through all the fluids and a first start video. It smoked up your garage, but it was like a dinosaur coming to life. I was hooked by that time.

@JohnBloom That was fat Tom.

@alsancle that’s the one! And 35 extra pounds is a sign of success in a man.
I just watched the whole thing again. It was as much fun as it was all those years ago. Keep dragging them home, Tom!

@JohnBloom His Woods bodied Stanley was my first experiene with a Tom video.

@JohnBloom If that is true than I'm Jeff Bezos.

Very cool!! What a special automobile. Wow.

Great pic! This car was IMPRESSIVE in person! It was absolutely captivating to see it run.
