I grabbed a few of the Pyro kits in 1:32 to make pre WWI race cars from for the 1900-1914 time period. So far I have the following kits:

Pyro

1914 Mercer
1910 Cadillac
1909 Lozier
1911 Packard

Airfix

1904 Mercedes

I also know Pyro makes the following I know of:

1915 Ford Model T
1911 Stevens Duryea 
1906 Renault
1909 Rolls Royce

 

What other 1:32 pre WWI kits are out there I can modify into race cars? I'd like a few more different makes in my line up.

Airfix did a 1905 Rolls-Royce phaeton that could probably be cut down into a racer.  And a longer shot, a 1911 Rolls town car.  Also a 1911 Vauxhall "Prince Henry," which was pretty much a race car from the factory, I think.

If you want to stretch to between the wars, Airfix also made a 1923 Morris Cowley "bull-nose" phaeton; 1926 Morris Cowley roadster (also released by MPC as "Piping Hot," with goofy hot-rod parts); 1930 Bentley 4.5 Litre; 1933 Alfa-Romeo, and probably some others I forgot.

Life-Like:

1910 Buick

1912 Hispano Suiza

Revell (ex Gowland & Gowland)

1912 Mercedes

1909 Stanley Steamer

1910 Pierce Arrow

1914 Stutz Bearcat

1904 Oldsmobile

 

The Olds could possibly be made into the Old Pirate, though I'm wondering if you'd be better off attempting a scratch build.
