There’s nothing like a cross between vintage aircraft and vintage auto racing to get our attention here at Silodrome. These fantastic designs are the work of Bill Clave, his goal was to set about creating a hybrid between those vintage racing cars that we all love so much and classic aircraft.
According to my appalling mathematics, we could all make these planes a reality if he had somewhere in the region of $17,000,000 – $82,000,000 USD and some free weekends. Who’s with me?
Ben Branch has had his work featured on CNN, Popular Mechanics, the official Smithsonian Magazine, Road & Track Magazine, the official Pinterest blog, the official eBay Motors blog, BuzzFeed, and many more.
Silodrome was founded by Ben back in 2010, in the years since the site has grown to become a world leader in the alternative and vintage motoring sector, with millions of readers around the world and hundreds of thousands of followers on social media.
