Stuart Hilborn's class B streamliner. 1st car to exceed 150 mph. July 1948 went 150.8 mph at El Mirage with Howie Wilson driving. Car helped put Hilborn injection on the map. ;)              Leastways, here in the states. Of course Mercedes & Auto union went alot faster. But, I'm just quoting the article that I read on this car.

That's it.

BTW, no need to PM me 2 minutes after you post an answer to see if you're correct - I don't live here 24/7 ;)

If you have the right answer, as you did here, your point is secure. If you didn't, there's no point to be saved.
