Racing great Barney Oldfield commissioned the construction of the original Golden Submarine by engineer extraordinaire, Harry Miller in 1917.
With the late-1990s, Charles Glick became involved with building cars for the Great Race. As luck would have it, he met Dale Bell, a Great Race competitor, who later commissioned Mr. Glick to build this Golden Submarine replica. It incorporates an inline four-cylinder engine with twin carburetors. Glick made modifications such as concealed headlights and turn signals and added cockpit insulation. There is a single door on the right side of the car, offset bucket-style seating for two, the famous golden finish, along with chrome wire wheels, polished aluminum radiator shell, moto-meter, leather hood straps, knock-off hubs and wire mesh in the majority of windows.
