1917 Curtiss OXX-6 Aero Engine.

This is what the car will look like when the project is complete.

Engine I purchased plus an almost complete spare engine for parts.

After its arrival at my shop in Rhode Island, my crew wasted no time in making a custom rolling frame to house the new Curtiss aero engine and began dismantling the engine.

After looking through my "project car" inventory in my downtown warehouse, I picked a period-correct 1917 Cadillac chassis to be used for the new race car project.
