Goldenrod - All American Speed Machine

"It's the longest, narrowest, lowest package of piston horsepower in the history of the land speed record."
The story of Goldenrod, the Summers Brothers' incredible four-engined hotrod that was built to beat the Brits to the land speed record.
If you want to know more about Goldenrod than I can fit into a 15 minute video, check out John Baechtel's incredible book!
