| Comments: | Great shot of the Maul Brothers #111 coupe. I'm hoping you 50's and 60's gurus can fill in the details for us.... I may never seen it race, but I even I can tell this is one good looking car! |

| 05/28/03 | Jim Murrow | These were beautiful cars, Tom. You can see the color in the "Jackie at Alcyon, 1960" color photo on page 9. After Jackie McLaughlin drove the cars, owner Clarence Maul contracted with Lou Mood to build and maintain the cars out of Lou's shop in Mullica Hill, NJ. This is one of, I believe 3, 111 coupes that Lou built. Two that were built as 111s, and one that was built as a 29 car that Lou owned and drove himself, but converted to a 111, and gave to Clarence Maul, after Lou totaled one of the 111s. (Budd didn't show one night at Georgetown, so Lou drove the car himself and totaled it). |
| 06/01/03 | Jim Murrow | Tom, this is one of the Lou Mood built # 111s. Lou, who drove his own #29 cars for many years, was known as "The Flying Farmer", although racing was reputed to have cost him the loss of his farm. He always used the late model type "disk" wheel on the left front, and a chrome wrap around bumper on the back, (which you can just see the tip of in this picture), with additional painted nerf bars around it. The car was painted bronze, as all the 111s were. You can see the color scheme in the color Alcyon photo, with Jackie McLaughlin as the driver, posted earlier. The car was very fast. Lou not only built the cars and the engines, but they ran out of his shop, with Lou as crew chief. In fact, Lou was kind of a "Loner", so he was pretty much the total crew. It was while driving this car, which ran regularly at Flemington, and Georgetown Delaware, that Budd began wearing a "Uniform" of sorts. This was before driver suits, of course, and most drivers were wearing a T shirt, and jeans. Budd began driving in white pants, and a white shirt with 111 on the back. Thanks Jim Murrow |
