Known in the movie as the 'Wilson 110 special' (said to have a V8 400ci)![[Image: roadracers112yy3.2833.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/0is209/roadracers112yy3.2833.jpg) ![[Image: roadracers114vo9.605.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/0is209/roadracers114vo9.605.jpg) ![[Image: roadracers128xt3.8520.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/0is209/roadracers128xt3.8520.jpg) ![[Image: roadracers133qj9.1300.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/0is155/roadracers133qj9.1300.jpg) ![[Image: roadracers136ey9.5835.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/0is514/roadracers136ey9.5835.jpg) ![[Image: roadracers220vb9.5469.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/0is514/roadracers220vb9.5469.jpg) ![[Image: roadracers221sh8.2596.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/0is514/roadracers221sh8.2596.jpg) ![[Image: roadracers229ta0.5821.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/0is514/roadracers229ta0.5821.jpg) ![[Image: roadracers231ak2.8716.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/0is209/roadracers231ak2.8716.jpg) ![[Image: roadracers233jo5.1567.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/0is514/roadracers233jo5.1567.jpg) ![[Image: roadracers259jh0.3459.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/0is209/roadracers259jh0.3459.jpg) -- Last edit: 2023-01-12 09:49:46 (antp) |

I think I've seen this car in one of the Michel Vaillant comics called "Le Circuit de la Peur". But maybe I'm wrong. |

Looks like a Maserati. The V8 engine too. |

Unfortunately, you all might be right, since racers at the time would build cars with custom bodies/engines of their choice. |

From Bruce Dabney: "Some of the mystery cars in the Road Racers movie: -The one pictured 3 times, as: '1958 Edsel unknown', '1958 Ford F-series'(#110), and again at the end as 'unknown', is Ak Miller's El Caballo II." (6B 8B 8C 17A) http://www.tamsoldracecarsite.net/KenFreese1.html |

Kurtis 500X, "El Caballo II" was just a nickname! |
