What you see under the car seems to be the coral fence, Looks like a shadow but if you look close at the picture you can tell it is the fence.

I bleave that this car was owned buy one of the trainers of Seabiscuit the famous race horse from the 1930-1940. I just read the book on the story and life of Seabiscuit. In the book the trainer lets some one use his cord convertable for a publicity stunt (Before a race), the car did get damaged during this stunt.

Please note that the Cord's windshield is missing...

probably an errant hoof...

Here is the link to the National Cowboy Museum which has a lot of photo archives, including prints of Ralph Doubleday's rodeo photographs. This link is a search of those photos of Alice Sisty's rodeo jumps, mainly over the poor dented Cord, but also other vehicles!

Turns out ALICE SISTY was one of several famous Cowgirls making the Rodeo Circuit in the 40's. This particular rodeo star received top billing with the likes of Gene Autry. Alice apparently liked to jump over a Cord Phaeton.

(I'd like to see her try to clear my Custom Beverly...)

Here are some more photos: Even Conoco got in on the action.

Hi Everyone,

Having a great time at the ACD Meet / Palo Alto Concours this weekend. It's going on now!

Here's a strange photo that we saw today at lunch on the wall at Buck's Restaurant in Woodside California.

LOTS of photos to post at the end of the meet tomorrow.
