Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

One of a kind mid engined car built by Lesovsky and Diedt to Nathan Rounds design possibly with Howard Hughes backing. Totally unsuccessful at Indy in 49 and 50. Very finely built, restored in 88 and recently repainted. Will need sorting before use.

Market commentary

A show stopper at any Indy car gathering and a time capsule example of the superb caliber of LA based racing car construction. Deserves the development it never had from Rounds (and Hughes) and is a good value at the price.
