Flashback Friday: “Schoof Special”
This Flashback Friday we are traveling back to the 1920s to see Milwaukee local automobile racer Eddie Czapiewski posing with William “Bill” Schoof’s Model T racer, aptly named the “Schoof Special.”  Both Schoof and Czapiewski were active in Milwaukee’s automobile racing community during the 1920s, with the “Milwaukee Mile” State Fair Speedway serving as their home track.
These images of Czapiewski are glass negatives taken by Roman B.J. Kwasniewski sometime during the 1920s.  They can be viewed at the UWM Archives (once we reopen to the public) in Box 52 of UWM Mss 19, or online in the Milwaukee Polonia Digital Collection.
