Nice. Back in hs I worked in a gas station where the owner raced a Ford coupe with a flathead V8. Biggest issue was cooling because of how much distance the exhaust traveled thru the block. And if it overheated the block cracked between the exh valve and the cylinder bore. Hard to keep up with those Hudson Hornets.

I work with a fellow who has two Hudson Hornets, one done up just like the one in in “Cars”...when he was at a car show in Newport recently, he had a tap on his shoulder, it was Jay Leno and he said something like “Is that your Hudson Hornet? I’ve been looking for you...”

I am not in the least into celebrity worship, but Jay Leno does have a rep as a car collector...:)
