Mickey Thompson M/T

M/T's MONSTER

1961

 

  This car was built for Drag Racing and to set Land Speed Records. 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.
