Default Smithsonian
We are in DC at The museum of American history and apparently even the Smithsonian can appreciate a real engine.

Isn't that car the one owned by Ed Iskenderian's buddy and driven in a movie by Elvis?

I think that is a boat windshield. Maybe from a Chris Craft?

The movie is "Loving you", and the car was built by John Athan, who also did the initial build on Isky's T, if I remember correctly.
