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.
