The Hungerford Rocket Car (aka Shirley Lois:Moon Girl), its Chevy engine only ran up to 50 mph but it was its 'forced air' rocket engine that shot out a flaming tail that pushed it up to go...70 mph and achieve a whopping 2 miles to the gallon! Th original aerodynamic shell was made up of cardboard and linoleum, later renovated with aluminum sheets.
