The first outing for 0100E, 1951 24 Hours of Le Mans
Purchased new by Charles Moran Jr. of New York in 1951. Mr. Moran's first recorded race with the car was the 1951 24 Hours of Le Mans. He was no novice to Le Mans, he was the very first American to race in the fabled event in 1929 driving a DuPont. Moran was also an important part of America's road racing scene. He was a founding member of the SCCA and founder of ACCUS, the United States arm of the FIA. Moran raced the car into 1953 at such tracks as Watkins Glen, Vero Beach, Bridgehampton, along with Turner and MacDill Air Force Base courses.
Ownership changed hands in 1954-55, John Shakespeare of St. Louis, Missouri became the new owner.
