Biggest "spears" I bet any car ever had

I've learned these are called "Spears", but if you know them by another name... potato, potaato

These do seem to be a oversized "Rocket" image that would be better on the same year Oldsmobile, instead of this 58 Bonneville.

Bonneville photos, very good

V8 Trivia

1st to be modified specifically to set a record (1956 Boneville Salt Flats, 187.992)
1st small block with a GMC blower

These are not yet verified, and may never be, but it's pretty certain that with no documentation from the 1930's through 1970's like the way everything is documented now, it'll never be proven wrong even if it's never proven correct.

The engine? A prototype 265 cu in given to Stu Hilborn by GM in 1954, then sold to Tom Cobbs and installed in his 29 Ford on 34 rails

Classifieds, all sorts of amazing finds; race cars, record holders ... (from the 50's and 60's)

the Moonliner was a standout among the racing vehicles at the Grand National Roadster
