War Surplus on Wheels: WW Two Influence on Hot Rodding
10am
Lyon Air Museum
19300 Ike Jones Road
Santa Ana
714 210 4585
lyonairmuseum.org
Learn the fascinating history of these race cars known as “Belly Tank Lakesters” at the Lyon Air Museum exhibition WAR SURPLUS ON WHEELS : WORLD WAR TWO’S INFLUENCE ON HOT RODDING.
These race cars were built using WWII surplus fighter aircraft “external fuel drop tanks,” also called “belly tanks”, frequently the same tanks used on the P-38 Lightning World War Two aircraft. They were large enough to hold a driver and engine. These war surplus tanks provided an inexpensive opportunity for racers to acquire a workable and exceptionally streamlined “race car body,” rather than going through the effort and expense of fabricating one!
Exhibition details are on the lyonairmuseum.org website.
