A long NHRA historical video was posted on another website, but I grabbed a screen shot of Art Arfon's "Green Monster" dragster (Allison aircraft engine powered at that time) being presented with the top speed trophy (170MPH) at the 1959 NHRA Nationals in Detroit (at that time) pushed by a 1951-54 Packard.

There might have been a few Packard-powered dragsters in attendance, but the video didn't show any. Anyway, you get 'em when you can!
