That red, white and blue jet car at about 3:24 looks like the Valkyrie that Bill Frederick built (though it looks to be renamed for exhibition runs). I first saw the car under construction in a normal tract house two car garage on my paper route in 1961. The first thing that caught my eye was a couple barrels full of jet engines sitting in this guy's driveway. Over the period of a few months the chassis started to form in the garage bay. A humorous note was when he cut a chunk out of the overhead door so that it would clear the nose as the car was longer than the space in the garage.:LOL:
