With massive
429-cubic inch engine producing what seems today a tiny output, and two spark
plugs firing into each of the six cylinders, the car stood at the cutting edge
of automotive technology. By today’s standards, the car is frightening as the
brakes only worked on the rear wheels by hand! The Sliver Ghost reliability
that made it stand out from the crowd. The car was put through trail after
trail, with motoring journalists doing everything to find its weak point. It
sailed through every time, breaking records for performance and endurance.
