P-51 look-a-like, the Yak 3.

Funny Harley Earl gets excited seeing the twin booms on P-38 and incorporates them into Cadillac tail fins of the late 40's to mid 60's, however P-38 is a old late 1930's design and first flown in Jan-1939. It was our best pre ww2 fighter that bested the P-40 and the F4F especially in the high altitude arena. It had about a 64 mph advantage in speed over them too.
But that DO335 and it's 474mph speed wow!

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world.
