Might have that at home, so I won't guess.
This car may have been in the shootout with another streamliner 'Thunderbolt,' which Alex Tremulis ( himself a world motorcycle speed record holder ) wrote about in the 1980s.
During the 'duel,' one of the teams took the risk of removing the rear stabilizing fin and radiator, attempting to shave enough drag for a world record run. They were both in 357-mph territory if memory serves me.
