figures; the x-15 rocket plane was big noise in the early '60s.  iirc
it boosted the winged speed record to the far side of 4000 mph.  the
only winged thing faster is the shuttle.  nasa is working on some very
exotic hypersonic planes, but none have flown yet.

thinking - nobody mentioned details, but y'all might be interested to
know that the 'senior lincoln' of the '30s was henry leland's
[lincoln's founder] creation, but the junior lincoln, the zephyr
created after ford bought leland out, was essentially a stretched
model a / ford v8.  it would be -very-easy- to drop that 12 into a
ford cousin.

the big linc didn't survive the war.  the zephyr became the basis of
the immediate post-war lincolns, including the '48 mentioned.
