Thread: The Hummingbird

Tweet

Is it a "Sports Racer" or a hot rod? Since it only ran at Bonneville, despite the body style, I'd call it a hot rod. Here's a link to a fascinating site that chronicles this neat car, and it's unique design features. It was built by a genuine rocket scientist who, as you can tell by the name he gave it, was better at engineering than name creation. Although, the Spanish version of the name sounds much better............................El Colibri!! Don't miss the alternate page links at the bottom of the home page that have much more detail of the design.

Looks like you'll have to do a copy and paste on the link, the forum doesn't seem to like links that long.

I notice it's equipped with the Latham supercharger mention in the other thread...
