Title: Roger Lessman Streamliner
Post by: racergeo on July 17, 2019, 09:44:19 PM
  What happened to the Lessman streamliner that I saw run in a 1989 video at Bonneville. It was running an E class V6. Is it RWD? Is it running under different ownership.

Is this the car you are inquiring about?

And how many recognize the guy behind the reporting desk?

None other than Dave Despain!

But he built a new streamliner in the past years... probably a known fact.

Went 360 + change so far IIRC.

    Ya, I thought that car looked pretty aero, that's why I asked about it.    George
