1934 Dreyer Sprint Car

Floyd 'Pop' Dreyer ranks as one of the most innovative and prolific sprint car builders in racing history. The former daredevil motorcycle rider moved to Indianapolis, from Ohio, in 1925. He was hired as a welder by the Duesenberg Brothers. Several years later, 'Pop' went out on his own. He quickly established himself as one of the finest sprint car body and chassis builders in the country.

The 'Moore Special,' sporting its mid-1930s signature heart-shaped grill, was ordered in 1934 by Don Moore of New Jersey. Originally, a four-cylinder overhead cam engine provided the power. That was replaced, during WWII with a 1941 Ford straight six. The 'Moore Special' was a fiercely competitive car and a frequent winner in the AAA Easter Big Car Division. It retired from racing in 1952.

Moore's son, Frank, sold the car to John Jackson Sr. in 1970. The current owners purchased it from him in 2008. It is shown in its 1952 configuration and represents the finest original condition Dreyer Sprint in existence.
