Thread: The Spyder Slays a Dragon

Bob, I went to the original picture and blew it up to read the plaque that described it. I had to degrade the picture I posted so that it wouldn't cover half the page. There is no mention of Cragar making the head and I didn't see Cragar cast anywhere that I could see. There did not appear to have any provision for a valve cover either since there was no rail at all to contain the oil, but that doesn't mean one couldn't be fitted somehow. It did say that the carbs were Winfield's and that it was a B model Ford.

Yes that was Bud Ekins that owned the Traub. I think he had it first and then sold it to McQueen. CRS kept his name out of my head until you wrote it.
