Historical Note:  Powered with a Pratt & Whitney 450 h.p. Wasp Jr., the model 7W "Executive" is a closed, low-wing, all metal monoplane designed in 1934 and first produced in 1935. It has proved exceptionally poplar with business concerns and individuals who wanted air transportation of the high performance class. The Spartan Executive was a true aviation legend. Built to the most luxurious tastes of the rich oil "Executives", it rivaled in comfort to the most opulent limousines of the day. In performance, it was second to none, cruising at a remarkable 200 miles an hour, with a range of over one thousand miles. Even though the Spartan Executive was an aircraft which was created during the years before WWII, its design was replicated repeatedly in postwar aircraft. As evidence of it's durability, the Texaco Spartan #51 is still flying today and is owned by a private citizen of Chicago, IL!
