It's the 1965 Mooneyham, Fergusen, Jackson & Faust streamlined dragster, also known as the "Clay Smith Streamliner."  It's in the Don Garlits Museum in Florida.

The car only ran twice, at Lions Drag Strip and San Fernando Raceway.  I'm not sure at which track the photo was shot.

That doesn't match the information I have for the car.

I have it saved as "Woody House Car". ???

This is a rare shot indeed as this car only ran this one time before Woody scrapped it. It was Gilmore's first attempt at streamlining and the car was built in-house on his dime using a "Jocko" body. Frank Cannon supplied the engines and Pete Ogden drove.
