Many years ago my father helped me make a car for the Cub Scout Pinewood Derby (little gravity-powered models) that looked just like the first car in this ad. It's "exhaust" was part of a white coat hanger. I think he did more of the actual work than I did.
He himself used to race midgets waaay back in the 40s.
