I spied this car in Sacremento last year. Anyone care to have a guess at make, model and what's unusual about it?

Dont know what car it is , but it looks to have some sort of 'suck through' supercharger.

Weird.

Cheers,
Frank.

Yeah, is that what was/is called a negative pressure supercharger?

I think supercharging was tried on early Hudson flathead engines, but not sure about this one.

Reminds me of a 1930's Studebaker.

I dont know...the starter motors on the wrong side so it must be a Flux capacitor for a delorian?

Car is an early 30's Pierce Arrow, with a crankshaft driven rotary supercharger.

yeh i foresaw you telling me it was wrong bu thats about all haha

I'll have another stab at it. Judging by the headlicht mountings and the depth of the Radiator shroud, which is painted, I'd say 1936/7 Pontiac with previously described crank driven blower.

Well Done Foresight you win the prize!

Actually that's not strictly right as Graham-Paige dropped the "Paige" from the name in 1930, but I'm not suggesting the cigar shouldn't be duly awarded to the worthy winner. :2
