Known as the Syndicate Scuderia (named so after his engine shop), the dragster was built by Williams, a native of Vancouver, and was raced under the Williams-Devine-McDougall namesake. A custom, one-off aluminum body was crafted for the car, giving it a svelte appearance that includes a 1960’s-era Champ Car nose, unique “humped” curves over the front of the 404 cubic inch Chrysler Hemi engine and front-driven Potvin supercharger, as well as a closed canopy-style cover over the cockpit — all covered in a sleek blue metal-flake paint. It was, for its time, a shining and early example of a wind-cheating “streamliner” dragster, and whether it truly worked or not is really secondary to the attention it got for said show-worthy appearance. Sixty years later, that closed cockpit and the work that Williams put into crafting it is appreciated all the more.
