Dress for succes ! (UPDATE II : Jaime 'Studebaker' Barrón's daughter likes to find more info. )

Mr. Barone wrote a book about his trip titled "Heart and Willpower."

He left Rio de Janeiro on January 27, 1927 and arrived at the city hall of New York City on March 1, 1929. He spent about 2 months traveling across the US and 2 years struggling through South and Central America, encountering revolutionaries in three different countries, suffering from malaria the whole time, and losing three mechanics to disease and accident.

Red was not a mechanic. He went ahead and made arrangements in the cities Barone was traveling to, including advertising and selling tickets to displays of automobile "acrobatics" with the "Leap of Death" as the finale. This involved driving the car up a ramp, through the air about 20 feet, and landing on another ramp. These shows were put on to raise money for the trip.

This was a famous undertaking at the time,closely followed by auto enthusiasts, and I am surprised that there is almost nothing about it on the internet. Since Barone's car was supposed to be on permanent display at the Studebaker Museum in South Bend, Indiana, I would think that there should be more information somewhere in their archives. It would be a shame if there is not.
