Schroeder (constructor)
Gordon Schroeder was an American racing car constructor.[1] Schroeder cars competed in four FIA World Championship races - the 1951, 1953, 1954 and 1955 Indianapolis 500.
History[edit]
In 1929, together with Riley Brett, Schroeder reconstructed an old V16 engine of a Frank Lockhart car for Myron Stevens.[1] Schroeder was enamoured by the engine and bought during the Second World War, with driver Sam Hanks qualifying it for front row in the 1946 Indy, only for the car not complete distance.[2] Schroeder also collaborated with Stevens and Clint Brawner to build cars in the 1950s.[1]
