Amazing innovative car I was unaware of.
I remember as a kid when the Blue Flame set land speed records in 1970.

It came to town on a promotional tour.
What a thing to see as an 8 year who was Fascinated by spacecraft and model rockets!
It seemed in 1970 that Everything was possible, ie: 2001 Space Oddesey colonization was a plausible goal.
Look at us now...
Jim Hall was innovative. He put the first variable wing on his race car and had the first ground effects race car.
If you google around Chaparral, you’ll see that his earlier cars were beauties.

I remember going to the New York Auto show back in the early 70’s.
They had the Blue Flame on display there and I was mesmerized by it. Craig Breedlove was driving it at that time and was there. What a thrill for a 12 year old kid.
