Rocket III?  I think that the one in the video has only two (2) cylenders.  At least that's what it looked like to me.

I couldn't let Chris's post go to waste so I put in a few photos of some cars that a friend of mine has in his collection. The top one is a Cord the bottom one is a Duesenburg if I remember correctly. The Red one in the middle is a Cadillac the other one, I don't remember.

The 1911 Beast of Turin is quite a car. All 1730 cu in. and 400 HP of it.

Someone mentioned 2 cylinders, its actually 4.

I'm pretty sure it was posted here before.

Glenn Curtiss "Fastest Man On Earth" 136.3 MPH 1907powered by Aeva



Here is one about my life long hero from a nearby town.  This man also credited with producing the first V-twin and W-triple motorcycle engines for use in his Hercules models [ then Curtiss models] starting in 1904.
