Thanks. I'm fully supportive of the owners' desire to get those old cars out on the track, but that's good to know.

I think this is a different Horton, not Hornten brothers.

http://aerofiles.com/_h.html



Quote:
Horton
William E Horton, Santa Ana CA.

Horton Wingless Original [N87698] (Al Backstrom coll)
Horton Wingless with and without motors [N39C] (Frank Rezich coll)
Horton Wingless [N39C] (Popular Science)

Wingless 1951 = 2pC flying wing; two 225hp Jacobs and extended driveshafts; span: 40'0". Not truly wingless, but essentially a highly-modified Cessna UC-78 with a more airfoil-shaped fuselage than wing. POP: 1 [N39C]. Although this innovative protoype flew successfully, no backers were attracted, and the project was abandoned, with the plane eventually being deliberately burned.

Can be pushed, but the steering wheel is fixed.

A lot more if the car was original as opposed to restored.
