Tin Race Car

Every once in awhile, a tin race car will capture my attention at a Ross, Marshall's or TJ Maxx store.  They often feature someone whimsical sculptures of  early race cars.  I never know what actual car these are based on, but they look pretty cool.

For comparison, here is a real Stutz Bearcat Speedster from 1912.  So, that puts us into the right general era of motoring.
