Description
Just cooling her jets on a quiet street, and watching all the people staring at her. It doesn't show much in this shot due to the angle, but it had lovely pin striping front and back.

You just have to love the engineering terms that they let the Marketing people get to back then. This cutie would be powered by the 324 cubic inch Rocket V8 engine, and that power would reach the ground through its Hydra-Matic transmission. The slogan for this car back then was "Make a date with a Rocket 88".

A few model years previous to this one, the Rocket 88 was the first "King of NASCAR", until it was removed from the throne by the powerful Hudson Hornet.
