From the Goodguys Gazette page 88, I saw the 28 ft long boattailed speedster powered by a Packard PT boat engine... called the “Blastolene Daytona Special” roadster

On a side note Rodney bought two of the great movie cars from the 1964 movie with Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon, and Natalie Wood "The Great Race" : The Great Leslie and the Hannibal Twin 8 http://www.ci.concord.nc.us/greatrace_2.asp
