The Bugatti Veyron of its day. Long, low, sleek with a great big six under its hood, the XK120 was the fastest car you could buy at the time, with an incredible top speed of 120 mph.
The new high-compression, overhead-valve, 303-cubic-inch Rocket V8 made up to 165 hp when the best Ford only made 100. The 88 was prototype for the next 25 years of American performance.
