Summary
This 1939 Bantam roadster boasts significant provenance, having been purchased by the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Foundation in 1967 and displayed at Tony Hulman’s Early Wheels Museum before joining the IMS Museum collection. It features period modifications including custom headlights, a chrome grille, 1949 Chevrolet taillights, a 1948 Plymouth dashboard, and custom roll-and-pleat upholstery. The vehicle shows over 76k miles on the odometer, with noted exterior flaws like scratches, stains, and pitted brightwork, along with split seams on the interior bench.
