One of the most famous ‘lakesters’ of the Hot Rod era. These ingenious vehicles, made from auxiliary petrol tanks (sourced from old Second World War aircrafts), set numerous speed records in the United States. ACME presents this detailed model car of one of the most famous belly tank racers: the one built by Alex Xydias’ So-Cal Speed Shop Team, which reached a record speed of 198.34 mph (319.12 km/h) in 1952 on the Bonneville Salt Flats.
