The Jones Six automobile was built in Wichita, Kansas between 1914 and 1921. The six-cylinder engine (from which the car took its name) gave the Jones Six a top speed of 60 miles per hour. Incidentally, the car is on display on the fourth floor of the museum. How did they ever get it up the stairs?

SPOILER ALERT!
Actually, I know how they did it. The museum had a video that documented the process playing next to the exhibit. They removed the windows and hoisted the car to the top floor by crane.
Thanks for commenting. Would love to see that Nazi submarine you mentioned. There is an American WWII sub on display adjacent to the Carnegie Science Museum in Pittsburgh, PA. I've toured it twice and am eager to go back again later this summer.

If I could find a big enough velodrome I absolutely would! The wood floor should be able to take a beating from the tires I think. Otherwise....that would be a brutally rough ride lol. I know the big time racers would use a strip of a certain beach to run their cars. That would have been another option. The Stanley Steamer was one such car to race along a beach if memory serves me correctly.
