This car was purchased by its present owner on September 13th of 1948. It was raced a few times in the late 1990s, including several Historic Races including Monterey. The car is powered by a four-cylinder engine capable of producing 60 horsepower. It has engine number XPAG6182 and is reported to get 27.5 mpg. There is a solid axle in both the front and the car rides on 4.50x19 inch wheels.
The owner purchased this car new on September 13, 1948 and have owned it ever since. He has raced it a few times in the late 1940s and have made many long, happy journeys in it.
This is the car that was responsible for the founding of Moss Motors in 1949.
The owner and the car have raced together in quite a few historic races, starting with the second Monterey Hsitoric in 1984, and as recently as last year's Monterey Historic. This year (2007) will be their last race together; 'we will both be put out to pasture after this weekend.'
