Vehicle Description
1934 Ford Geisen Roadster Special 'Laguna Seca Veteran'Vintage
RacerBelieved to have been built in 1950, the Geisen is fitted with
a low-silhouette, hand-formed body that shows the influences of
both types of racing, including a belly pan, narrow profile and
cycle fenders. Brooklands racing screens are placed behind a
fold-down windshield, in front of which are cowl vents to release
hot air from behind the firewall-mounted radiator. The hood is
bulged to clear dual cars and vented to extract even more heat from
the engine compartment; old-fashioned buckled leather straps keep
it in place. Beneath the completely refinished sheetmetal is a
239CID Ford flathead V-8 equipped with all the best components of
the period: twin Stromberg 97 carburetors mounted on an early
Edelbrock intake manifold and finned Edelbrock high-compression
heads. The column-shifted three-speed manual transmission also
reflects home-built creed of economy and simplicity. The sparsely
appointed cockpit has been renewed with fresh leather and
carpeting, and a full compliment of gauges mounted in a woodgrain
dash panel. Raced at the very first Monterey Historic races in
1974, and lives on as one of American racing's classic 'homebuilt
specials'. -Raced at the very first Monterey Historic Races -Raced
