From what I understand, the current truck is a new truck, built to resemble the original.
Maybe somebody can confirm that as fact.
I sure wish we had a better look at that "full race Mercury mill" engine! Could it be a flathead?
PS- The negative on the East Meadow picture has been flipped.
It was not a right-hand drive........

I would like to think Tom Baldwin and tradition had a hand in it somewhere along the way, both look like a circle track car, don't they? Nothing wrong with it, think he only built three C trucks, Hagerman, Syosset and Terrace just before he passed?
