The Grancor Rocket Firebug, a rocket car built in 1946 by Grancor Automotive Specialists of Chicago. Grancor was founded by Anthony "Andy" Granatelli and one of his brothers. The car was originally the Ford-powered Don Hulbert Special built for the 1934 Indianapolis 500 (though it failed to qualify). Granatelli got his hands on it and after WWII installed JATO rocket engines. It still exists today: http://www.tomstrongman.com/ClassicCars/RocketCar/Index.htm |
