Ah, this takes me back to my youth, when I thought dragsters were the coolest cars in the world . . . this is Ed "Big Daddy" Roth's top fuel dragster, named Yellow Fang. Ed didn't actually own it, a drag racer named George Schreiber did. I seem to remember it from around 1964-65 or thereabouts.

I'll freely admit I had to go to the web to look up the builders. The fantastic body came from Tom Hanna’s shop in San Diego, the chassis was by Jim Davis.
