Happy Centennial birthday Hunt Special... the only full size automobile that has been built in San Diego

these are the largest size tires ever factory installed according to the docents at the Nethercutt Museum

Did the Hunt brothers, who only made this one vehicle, feel the need to plaster their name all over it for posterity to remember them? Or so they would gain local recognition and drum up business?

It's part of the J Cooley collection on permanent display at the Cooley Museum in San Diego at the corner of Park and El Cajon blvd.

For my previous post on the Cooley Museum: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2008/05/almost-unknown-but-incredibly.html

the almost unknown but incredibly facinating, J A Cooley car museum in San Diego, at Park Ave and El Cajon St.

Within the car museum are also huge collections of other things, Edison phonographs, WW2 bond posters, spitoons, cuckoo clocks, model trains, really old cameras, car lamps, and more. Only 5 dollars to get in, and Jim is there to give you all the background you'd like, he's just a great guy!
