Butch Ludwig

Paul Schiefer's 1925 Ford Model T Roadster of San Diego, California. Schiefer was a member of the San Diego Roadster Club. He started racing his roadster in 1947, and it became one of the few cars campaigned on the lakes and the strips that, within a decade, saw its first-year top speeds on the dry lakes exceeded by its later 1/4-mile ETs. At the SCTA July 18, 1948 meet, Paul's roadster with Butch Ludwig behind the steering wheel was the fastest C-Class roadster at 148.02 mph. This was also Paul's best run in 1948.
