Antique & Classic Cars Blog

Here’s another beaut that was out at Hooked on Classics in Watertown–a rail dragster from the late 1950s running a Hilborn fuel-injected DeSoto Hemi mill.

The car looks like it did back in the day. Apparently the fuel injection on this car is so rare someone from the Hilborn factory flew out to have a look at it.

Poking around on the ‘net, I found this cool site showing some really nice vintage dragsters. Check out the beautiful streamlined car near the bottom of the page–apparently scrapped after one run! Too bad. That’d be one of the hottest cars at a show today.

Update:  here’s a closer shot of this car, re: Comments below.
