EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the sleek and powerful Coonley Special N10E, also affectionately known as "Little Toot," a Formula One racer designed and built by the visionary Harold D. Coonley in Miami, Florida, during the late 1940s. With race number 35 adorned on its side, this open-wheel marvel boasts an impressive 19-inch wingspan and a length of approximately 18.7 inches (18 feet 10 inches in full scale). The engine powering this speed demon was a potent 85hp Continental C85. The Coonley Special N10E left an indelible mark on the racing world, reaching breathtaking speeds of 135.46 mph on the track. However, its tenure in the sport was tragically short-lived. In 1949, during a cross-country flight, "Little Toot" suffered a catastrophic crash, bringing an untimely end to its racing career. Despite this setback, the legacy of this innovative and daring machine continues to inspire racing enthusiasts and aviation aficionados alike. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the thrill and excitement that Harold D. Coonley and the Coonley Special N10E brought to the world of motorsports.
