I really need a point here...
Built by Stanley M. Eakin of Grove City, Ohio. Powered by a Ford V8-60 mounted :D in the rear. Not a rocket car, just a very unusual custom.

Stanley Eakin's "Comet," a rocket-themed custom with a Ford 60 horsepower flathead V8 engine. Built in Grove City Ohio US, the car was under construction for six years before completion in 1954.
