Classic Car Print, 1911 Marmon Waspt, Retro Print, Race Car. Sports Car, AW94
The Marmon Wasp the winner of the first Indianapolis 500 which was driven to victory by Ray Harroun in 6 hours and 42 minutes. While that victory made Harroun famous, it was the man who made the car.
A part-time racer, Mr. Harroun was foremost an engineer for the Marmon Motor Car Company, an early 20th-century producer of passenger cars that are frequently cited as exemplars of the golden age of the American automobile. He designed the six-cylinder Marmon Wasp, so named for its yellow and black color scheme, from stock Marmon engine components.
Unlike most racecars of the period, the Wasp was built with a
smoothly-cowled cockpit and a long pointed tail to reduce air drag. And Mr. Harroun came up with another first that has caught on pretty well – a little item called a rear view mirror. He was the first driver to race without a riding mechanic to watch for cars from behind.
