Legendary Bonneville racer Ab Jenkins and son with the Mormon Meteor III and their cabover Federal transporter. Constructed on Duesenberg frame rails and housing a Curtiss Conqueror 1570 CID V12 aircraft engine, the Meteor III ran 161 mph for 24 hours on the salt in 1940, setting speed/distance records that stood for 50 years.
