Great statement in few words, JackD.
The history of those who shed blood, sweat and tears (and some body parts) shouldn't be overlooked.
Don Arivett of electric (2), Haas, and streamlined dragster fame suggested a boat-tailed Auburn roadster body to me a couple years ago for that class.
Someone does make a replica for the kit car world -saw two of them at a hotrod gathering in Rocklin, Ca four or five years ago.
