More Oshkosh pictures

[Gary Karr]

Here are some more pictures of fine point cars at Oshkosh. I wish I could have gotten some pictures of the driving class cars but I was ******* with fine point judging. It was a great meet. Thanks to all that put in all the work to make it happen.

Is the gentleman in the photo of the red roadster (in the first set of pics) actually using a magnifying glass to judge the car?

 

[Gary Karr]

Most likely not, Bill as I took these pictures after we finished judging.

Thanks for all the pictures!

I think he is pulling the sheet of paper off of the windshield.

That Canadian Sports Roadster looks pretty special, not unlike the many 'Deluxed' 29's we see today.

Thanks for sharing

Why is it called an "AIR CAMPER"?
I'm sure it wasn't because you could sleep inside the plane.

No Idea Tom, maybe it felt like its not moving.

The Pietenpol airplane was called an Air Camper because people would (and still do) put their sleeping bag in the front seat and fly from field to field, and then sleep with their plane. (the Pietenpol, like the Piper Cub J-3 and other small planes, is flown from the back seat, leaving the front seat available for the sleeping bag if there is no passenger).
