A beautiful idea: history in the making that never quite got made
Article Abstract:
Jim Travers and Frank Coon planned to enter a streamliner for use by Bill Vukovich in the 1955 Indianapolis 500. Vukovich, who had driven the pair's Fuel Injection Special in the 1953 and 1954 races, was killed in a race. The car was made into a vintage race car and entered into a 1996 race.
