Video: This Feature On The Summers Brothers Goldenrod Is Mandatory Must Watch Stuff

In the pantheon of legitimately amazing hot rods, there are cars that stand above the crowd. Machines that represent the pinnacle of achievement for their age. Machines that represent the pinnacle of the blood, sweat, and tears, of their builders, and machines that represent barrier breaking performances. The Summers Brothers Goldenrod is all of this things and more, really. This video does the car justice in ways we have never seen before. The Henry Ford made the film and it is narrated by the curator of The Henry Ford museum. Beautifully shot with modern and historic footage cut in, the story of this car’s 400mph barrier breaking performance is told in fine detail.

A pair of bothers who believed that they could wrest back the wheel driven land speed record of the world an did. Not only did they do it, they held it for more than four decades from 1965 to 2008 when the Burkland’s 411 streamliner got the job done. They made it happen with a 30-foot long, four Hemi powered monster that gave them a few fits before it heeled to their demands and delivered the goods.

After setting the record, the car toured the country and later it went all the way over to England. After years of travel it needed help and it was restored into the state you see here, virtual perfection. Bob and Bill Summers were hero level hot rodders. Both have passed to the great salt lake in the sky but their crowing mechanical accomplishment will be a spectacle to take in for years and years to come thanks to the Henry Ford.

Watch the video below it is awesome.
