Looks like everyone is interested in checking out this Frontenac overhead valve head including the policeman.

Interesting to see the heat riser on the manifold and the tubing to duct hot air to the carb on the other side. Gas back then was half kerosene and they needed a lot of preheat to help it vaporize.
