1927 Ford Model-T roadster owned by race-mechanic Bob Trammel. In 1948, Bob asked Barney Navarro if he could loan his blower assembly so he could set a fast time. Barney approved and later that year, the modified Roadster was entered in SCTA's events in Class C Roadster under Tom Beatty and Navarro's name and ran almost 140mph.[1]
