The mill is a seven-cylinder, 300hp Jacobs unit that was borrowed from a 1950s seaplane. Reminiscent of the salt-flats speed-demons, this contraption is as hot-rod as it gets.Ĭorn bought this truck 30 years ago, for 500 bucks, and kept it until recently in his backyard before he decided to stick an airplane engine against the firewall. Even so, it remains a sight to behold, fascinating onlookers every time, thanks to its unique approach, home-built aluminum construction, and a gargantuan 757 ci (12.4-litre) radial engine.
Gary Corn’s Jacobs radial-powered Plymouth truck isn’t a stranger to the motoring media, as the machine has been featured in a lot of magazines.
This Plymouth Radial Air is the closest thing to a Second World War fighter plane for the road, and Jay Leno has all the details.
