Duffy Livingstone Wooden Model
|
This beautiful 9-inch wooden model was built by Duffy in 1938. The hood was aluminum and the Offenhauser engine was made from a tin can. Note the nose and grille that Duffy crafted long before the Kurtis midget noses were fashioned after the War. In 1944, Frank Kurtis designed a pedal car for his 11-year-old son with a grille almost identical to the one Duffy had created in '38. "It was pretty scale," says Duff. "I made seventy-five cents a week working at the model shop while going to school." View Related Article
