I made a discovery tonight while reading the Bulletin Board. (pic) by David Holcombe #14374

1941 instead of 1940? (EOM) by Jacques Roest #14374.1

The car was a 1940 model but it paced the 1941 race. (EOM) by Dick Browne #14374.2

It's not the dating. The Newports were built in 1940; BRK classified this one as the 1941 by David Holcombe #14374.3

Also, it did dual duty as a pacemaker, an early, gasoline version of a modern day medical marvel. (EOM) by John Kuvakas #14374.4

JK, don't quit your regular job to do the comedy club circuit :<)) (EOM) by Frank Racibozynski #14374.4.1

LOL, John ! (EOM) by Mike DeTorrice #14374.4.2

But no one noticed the now-chromed strip under the doors! (EOM) by David Holcombe #14374.5

Strange, I have six different BRK 8/8A's, none have that chrome strip. (EOM) by Dick Browne #14374.5.1

All of the Brooklin produced Pace Cars were white or off-white. by Dick Browne #14374.6

Dick, I chromed the strip on my BRK pace car to match the several photos of the 1:1 I found. by David Holcombe #14374.6.1

David, do you have any COLOR pictures? by Peter Foss #14374.6.1.1

Sorry, Peter. I understand this is an on-going subject. (EOM) by David Holcombe #14374.6.1.1.1

The chrome strip can be seen in an ad shown on the Bulletin Board by Bob Jackman #14374.6.1.2

The raised outline is provided on BRK 8/8A making it easy to BMF the strip. by Dick Browne #14374.6.1.2.1
