T.V. Tommy Ivo

Hollywood movie and television star began campaigning a twin-engine Buick dragster in the 1950s and was the first to reach 160, 170, and 180 mile-per-hour. Traveled with a two car trailer with full length glass windows and his push car Corvette mounted on top. Four fuel-injected 402s powered his four-wheel-drive vehicle named Showboat. He went on to campaign front and rear engine dragsters, and a jet car. History and photo gallery.
