This noteworthy and expansive archive captures the glories of automobile sporting culture in California during the first several decades of the 20th-Century, assembled through the effort and passion by several significant figures in the auto-racing, and sports car scene of Southern California. These include Gene Sherman (1944-2007) famed auto designer and builder, Leigh Peffer (1918-2000) auto racing enthusiast, sports car racer and collector, and photographer, Briggs Cunningham (1907-2003) famed American sportsman whose Cunningham Motors fielded race teams and built race cars for the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and later the Briggs Cunningham Automotive Museum in Coasta Mesa, CA which operated from 1966-1987, and finally the racing photographs of Ted Wilson famed photographer of California auto racing and race tracks during the 1920's and 1930's. Amidst the hundreds of photographs, many pieces of ephemera, race programs, original letters and postcards, the joy and energy of the West Coast automobile culture trace the development of automobile manufacturing and racing from the Hodge Brothers electric car manufacturing in Pasadena, CA in 1900-1902 through the design and model building, and car museums in the 1980's. Peffer & Sherman sorted the photo collection into race car drivers, action shots, and miscellaneous which includes photographs from Ted Wilson, Doinseau-Rapho, Briggs Cunningham Museum, Strother MacMinn, Thomas Milana, Studebaker, Ford, D.M. Woodhouse of San Diego, as well as Peffer, and Sherman themselves. The photographs include those of Carroll Shelby driving one of his early Cobra prototypes, Rex Mays, Dan DePaolao, Stubby Stubelfield, Bill Schuffler, Johnny Parsons, Bill Stepp, Earl Mansell, and Louis Meyer, Jr. "Sonny" one of the most successful and accomplished engine builders in Indianapolis 500 history. Still others include veterans of the vaunted Legion Ascot race track in Los Angeles, known as the "Killer Track" with such drivers as Howard Wilcox II, Jimmie Miller, Lon Webb, the Robson Bros., Spider Webb, Bud Rose, Harris Insinger in the Miller Special, Gus Schrader, Roland Frost, Babe Stapp in his Cragar Special April 2, 1933, Tony Radeitch, Woestman, McDowell & Pintorelli. After the Legion Ascot became too dangerous and closed down, and AAA racing moved out of the West Coast, the dirt track and gritty midget cars moved elsewhere.The Southern Ascot Speedway was a racetrack located at Atlantic and Tweedy Blvd., and ran from 1937 to 1942, now site of the Legacy High School Complex. Other race tracks represented in these photos include the Gilmore Stadium Speedway, including photos of the open wheel Krause Offy (Offenhauser), or Jimmy Miller in the pits in the Scheffler Offenhauser special at Oakland Speedway, or Bill Reed and Spud Hinkley at the San Jose Speedway. The Oakland Speedway was in San Leandro, CA, and was a banked dirt oval built in 1931, operated through the Great Depression, and featured roadster, motorcycle, Big Car, Stock Car, Midget Car races, and was the "fastest dirt track in the Nation." Another historic race track capturing racers and races was the Mines Field race track, including Stubby Stubblefield in 1934, today the site lies under LAX airport. Amidst the hundreds of photos are images of the concept car U.S. Discovery speed model designed by Marshall Space Flight Center, Boeing, Rockwell, Lockheed, and Cobalt Boats, engines such as the Miller-Ford Motor, Ford Motor & Front End, Bentleys, along with a myriad of photos of famed race cars and spots cars. These automobiles include the Studebaker No. 34 driven by Tony Gulotta, fitted with Stromberg carburetors, mechanic Carl Rischingo placing 7th in the Indy 500 in 1934; Miller cars powered with 220 cubic in. motors; Allard Race Cars, MG race cars, Lester MG in 1994; 1948 MG TC, 1937 Jaguar SS, Bugatti 57C, L.P. Breen's 1926 Bentley, the 1925 Lamda Roadster inscribed by Mark Shuttle to Briggs Cunningham, the Spike Jones Special.…

4to. [41 leaves (unnumbered).], w/ mylar sleeves holding 98 original photographs, sized from 2.5 x 3.5 in. up to 5 x 7 in. (80% are larger size), including 21 in Kodak Kodacolor prints, remainder on glossy & matte finish black & white silver gelatin, and about 80% including specific identifying manuscript notes in ink or pencil on versos, including drivers, race locations, dates, as well as frequently the camera, lenses, exposure, and print paper used (occasional over-exposure in the earliest Kodacolor Prints, otherwise nearly all are quite sharp, occasional rubbing, thumbing), still NF archive of photographs, preserved in recent black cloth 3-ring binder. This well-documented archive of photos captures the thriving and fast-growing sports car racing scene in Colorado following World War II by very young Ronald Hill. The photographs here open in 1952 with photos of Dabney Collins with George Joseph's 1952 Ferrari 340 American Spyder fitted with a Lampredi V12 at the Buckley Naval Air Station races in Aurora, CO. A nicely annotated group of photos captures the racing cars of Charlie Hughes, Bob Carnes, and other drivers in the first Lookout Mountain Hill Climb in 1953, held up the 4.5 mile Lariat Trail from Golden, CO to the top of Lookout Mountain. Young Hill notes that "Charlie really did a beautiful job of driving here -- up to his usual style. Seems unlikely that Carnes actually beat him." Other photos capture the 1953 Buckley Naval Air Station field races where Hill remarks on the back of one photo about "John Mathewson corners vintage Maserati GP car . . . finished 3rd over-all after long duel with Allan Phipps due to carb trouble." Many of the colour photographs capture in Kodacolor the 1959 Porsche Club Hillclimb races shot by Hill with a Leica IIIg camera, and featured drivers such as Mike Collins, Lucille Key (just before crash), and Jim Eckhorn in a modified VW Bug. Also shot by Hill were the Sept., 1959 CAMS sponsored by the SCCA, Sports Car Club of America, including Ray Mayer in Bill's Corvette, and Bill Kalmer in an Ace-Bristol. Several capture the racers and races at the Continental Divide Raceways in Castle Rock, 30 miles south of Denver, including Chuck Frederick in his Chevy-Allard J2X, and Hall, John Read, and Hap Sharp at the CDR Driver's School. Of special interest are a couple photos of the Bocar racing sports car in 1960, which was series of limited production 2-seater cars developed by Bob Carnes in Lakewood, CO featuring beefed-up VW rear suspension, and Corvette 283 V8 engine with a few sold on Triumph frames. Also included here are scarce early images of the Elva Courier Mk. II at the CDR, and were only raced in the U.S. in 1960 and 1961, before forced into liquidation, and same year Carroll Shelby won the USAC Road Racing Championship at CDR in his Scarab-Chevrolet, later won by Ken Miles in a Porsche 718 RSK. Hill (1937-2023) was born in Illinois, moved to Denver with his parents when his father became a professor at Denver University, and Ron graduated from Denver U in 1959, attended Denver U Law School, and served in the US Army 1962-1964 rising to Captain. He was a noted and accomplished railroad photographer favoring Leica and Hasselblad cameras, who although best remembered for his Colorado Railroad photos, shot automobiles, automobile racing, airplanes, and landscapes from the 1950's through the 2020's, eventually writing 12 books over 30 years on railroads.

4to. [29 leaves (unnumbered).] composed of mylar sleeves. With 122 original photos printed on glossy photo paper (5 Kodachrome colour photos), sized from 2.5 x 3.5 in. up to 3.5 x 5 in. some w/ annotations in lower fore-edge of image, or on verso, a few dated (some soiling to one image, & edgewear to a few). Recent cloth 3-ring binder, lettering stamped on front cover, excellent exemplar. This sensational group of original photographs records open wheel midget car racing just after World War II in and around Seattle, Tacoma, & Puyallup, WA, Victoria, BC, Portland, OR, California, and Nevada, including photos of many of the midget racers and their drivers at the Portland Raceway, Aurora Speedway in Seattle, the San Mateo Fairgrounds, Reno Fairgrounds, and the historic Langford Speedway in Victoria, British Columbia. The hunger for speed, the presence of large numbers of skilled mechanics & machinists, a booming midget car racing scene nurtured by Ballard's Gasoline Alley, nurtured incredibly popular midget car racing circuits on the West Coast during the 1940s and 1950s. These photos open with shots of Geer McRae Motors Mercury, # 75, the AA Plating Works No. 2, Leo Dobry's No. 64 Kurtis Kraft midget racer driven by Del Fanning, a jalopy racer No. 26, sponsored by Nix Auto Wrecker owned by Edward Prestek, and the center of Ballard's old Gasoline Alley in Seattle, Swede Lindskog's No. 3 midget racer, and more. There are many photos of races, wrecked midget racers, midget open wheel racers on trailers, and many action shots of them hurtling down the tracks. A number of the photos depict iconic Seattle driver Del Fanning in front of, and sitting in his midget race cars, including the "Seattle Special," No. 7 for Dick's Auto Repair on 3817 Gilman Ave. in Seattle, as well as No. 63 owned by Leo Dobry, which was a Kurtis Midget, with Offenhauser Engine, and ran a number of races in the Northwest, set track records at Langford, and also raced the San Jose 100. There are photos annotated for the Portland Auto Show in 1954 when No. 44 wins 1st place, as well as a series of images showing a pristine Midget Racer under construction in a garage. Leo Dobry was a racing car owner out of Tacoma who was a moderately successful car owner on the AAA and ASPAR circuits in the 1940s and 1950s, as well as operated a successful speed shop which built and ran Kurtis Kraft racers on the Indy circuit, and the Pike's Peak Hill Climb.
