INDIANAPOLIS -- The start of a new day was dominated by an old tradition at the Indy 500 on Saturday, as vintage race cars took to the track for Legend’s Day, honoring Roger Penske.
With cars dating all the way back to the first Indy 500 in 1911, going right through to vehicles from the 1990s, old and new timers alike gathered to ogle the shiny chassis and engines still in mint condition.
[Learn more about the Indy 500 at the Littelfuse Speed2Design site.]
Buffed, polished and fine-tuned by adoring owners, machines including the Kurtis Kraft Bardahl Special, the 1959 Epperley Bowes Seal Fast Special, Huffaker-Offys, Watsons, Eagles, Kuzmas, Penskes, Lolas and Marches were all on display.
We’ve snapped a small selection of some of the more eye catching cars for you.

A nice collection of reconditioned vintage vehicles.Seeing them with spoke wheels,only one seat and the uncovered mechanisms takes me to the olden days.What a terrific change from 1911 to 2011.

I just love the look of the older cigar shaped cars! The pictures are wonderful, I would have liked more.... Thanks for the peek and a trip down memory lane.

Bankruptcy is a big step, and one that should be taken only after careful consideration and with the guidance of an experienced bankruptcy attorney.http://www.lexingtonbankruptcy.com/
