Trailer for Goldenrod Land Speed Race Car, circa 1965

While Bob and Bill Summers had important sponsorship assistance in building their land speed race car, as shown by the company names on their trailer, the project's $250,000 budget was modest for a 400+ mile-an-hour car. The brothers did much of the work on Goldenrod themselves in a converted vegetable stand. Goldenrod set a record of 409.277 miles per hour.
