Frank Kulick Sitting in the 1910 Ford Model T Race Car "Kulick Racer"
Add to SetSummary
From 1910 to 1912, Frank Kulick drove this Ford racing car to victory in races all over the country. The stripped and reworked 1910 Model T was exceptionally light. Shortly after it was declared underweight for entry in the 1913 Indianapolis 500, Henry Ford entirely withdrew the "Kulick Racer" -- and Ford Motor Company -- from auto racing.
