How about the Fabulous Hudson Hornet driven by Curb Thomas and Crew Chief by Smokey Yunick. Don Garlits Museum of Drag Racing. Garlits has several Smokey Yunick items from engines to Smokey's engine dyno and an octane testing machine. This display of the 1954 Darlington winning Hudson engine includes the 1/18 scale Fabulous Hudson Hornet with it.

I LOVE it but it's not a '54!

I think the powerful Twin-H-Power engine at the museum is a 1954 but Highway 61 and their 1/18 car also shown here is an earlier 1952 or 1953.

@moe-parr Correct. As Mike noted, if that sign is not referring to that engine then it needs to be corrected.
