Take the look and feel of a WWII fighter aircraft, add a Lincoln Zephyr V-12 engine from the same era, mix with the image of a 50's hot rod and what do you get? The P-32 Street Fighter. Creator of this unusual amalgam is Chip Foose, world famous for his artistry with rods, mods, and original customs. It was Foose' desire to honor those pilots and their planes that led to his unusual one-off. It features a P-40-style exhaust, riveted windscreen trim, machined nosecone, and stripped-out interior for a look Autoblog lauds as "very, very cool." Hmmm... I'm not sure. The nose cone looks out of place, although it reminds me of something similar that was on a 1920's race car (sorry, can't recall the name... anybody?). And much as I love the Zephyr its engine is hardly one I would choose for a hot rod. That particular V-12 was never known for performance or reliability. On the other hand many of the greatest WWII fighters were V-12 powered so perhaps the link is historically reasonable, even if the best of those engines came from Rolls-Royce.
