QuoteThe cover of the June 1965 issue of HOT ROD Magazine showed Bill Burke dropping a Chrysler Hemi with a crank-driven blower into the engine bay of his latest creation, a Bonneville streamliner targeted for 300 mph. (Photographer Eric Rickman captured the classic garage scene.) Burke was a hot rodding pioneer. He virtually invented the belly-tank lakester back in the ‘40s and was also one of HOT ROD’s early ad managers. Inside the mag Dick Wells’ feature on the new ‘liner included a retrospective on Burke’s career, which even then was already long and storied.

Built during the same period as the smaller Fred Larsen car, there are many similarities between the two cars.
I read the Sunday funnies and get a chuckle or two -- I read the Monday Forum and laugh out loud. Thanks for the entertainment.I'm talking about the streamliner, of course...
