1935 Wetteroth AAA Championship Car

Built by West Coast fabricator Louis ‘Curly’ Wetteroth around 1934-1945. It was purchased by William Schoof of Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1935 and campaigned nationally thru 1949 as the ‘Fox Point Garage Special’ or the ‘Schoof Special’. As a race car it was constantly modified and occasionally wrecked, notably at Milwaukee in 1948 and Indianapolis in 1949. Here it has been restored to the start of the 1947 season configuration and how it ran at the Indianapolis 500 where Duke Dinsmore qualified at 119.84 mph and finished 10th.

The car has a list of 26 different drivers in its 14 year history.

Taken at the 2012 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance.
