Ralph Schenck had raced a roadster at the dry lakes in the 1930's, and in 1939 he decided to build a streamliner. He designed the body (reminiscent of the Harry Miller Submarine car) and built the chassis and frame while Joaquin Grosso formed the aluminum panels. A 183-cubic inch Chevrolet block with an Oldsmobile head was fitted with a Ford crankshaft and rods and a Winfield cam. It made it's debut at Harper Dry lakebed on May 19, 1940 and achieved a top speed of 118.57 mph. After many runs, the car was sold in 1945. Return to Hotrodsonline.com Return to Virtual Rod Run
