When that car was built, my great uncle, Charles Handschuh, was the man who hand painted the lettering and signage. He even did most of the Hemis under glass.

I got to work with Bill the last 8 years of his life, working on his 2 lakesters - one that he had sold to a USC professor, and a new one that was never finished. Both gents were very innovative, and I learned a lot from Bill.

I've had an autographed black and white photo of Bill, Bob, and the Goldenrod standing on the 'Flats' for almost 50 years! It's rather faded now! These two guys were geniuses!

These early records in some ways are more impressive than the later ones.

I took a picture of every car there the last time i was there. I also attened a wedding in the museum. It was awesome.

I remember when the Goldenrod set that record. I was 13 years old. The Goldenrod was in all the automotive magazines. Then it disappeared for many years. But, the record stood for a long time. So good to know that it has been restored (many more magazine articles) and will be properly displayed and cared for.

Worked at their Ontario shop got to get in the golden rod and Bob started it up amazing will never forget

I was at their shop almost everyday and went on many part's run's with Bill and my brother and I painted the car and the trailer try getting 66 ft of sheet metal in a 2 car garage at home and painted the trailer in a grocery store parking lot at 1 am but those were fun day's and 2 really nice guy's

It would be nice to hear what he's saying over the darn guitar music.

I love the Henry Ford museum, I’ve been going there my whole life, me & mr T Edison were at the 1931 opening, it was raining like heck.

Awesome car, the Summers brothers were definitely innovators!

When I was a kid I lived in Ontario, Ca. I would go by this house on the school bus. In the back yard parked against the fence that faced the street was a Semi truck trailer with the word Goldenrod land speed record holder, this was probably 67-68. So I got to see the trailer, but I didn't see the actual car until a couple years ago when my wife and I visited relatives in Michigan. We visited the Henry Ford museum and I got to stand next to the actual car. I took a pic with my phone but the phone died on that trip and I lost all pics. But I got to see the hauler and the car, 50 years apart. lol

When in my 20's friends of mine were using the Summer's Brothers old orange juice stand converted to a garage on Mission in Ontario to construct their 1955 Chevrolet salt flat car. We are still friends to this day. They hold a 200 mph and 300 mph record.

Still the most aesthetically pleasing LSR car in my book. I’d bet that this car with modern tuning and engine knowledge, a tiny bit of nitrous, and computer controlled ignition etc could still retake the title from the current holder.

Amazing backyard engineering

I saw it parked off Cherry ave. In Fontana in the early nineties in a yard with other clutter. I thought it was a shame it was just sitting there in the sun wasting away.

One of my favorite salt racers ever.

Beautiful car, and an amazing achievement. Fingers crossed for Bloodhound next year! 🤞🏻🇬🇧

I got to sit in that car at Mollie Sanders paint shop in La Habra - although I only weighed around 160 lbs. it was a tight squeeze !!

I remember this clearly from my high school days...
