MONSTER - 1961

 

Monster 1961

BACK to BONNEVILLE

  This car was built to set Land Speed Records and for Drag Racing. The L.A. Smog Commission may get after Mickey if they saw this photo of The Monster getting out of the chute. The blend of exhaust gases from the middle cylinders and smoke from the front tires is the reason the car's driver has an oxygen supply.
