The Legendary Four-Engine Showboat
Tommy "TV" Ivo was a pioneering drag racer and entertainer whose spectacular machines helped define the early years of American drag racing. His famous Showboat combined four fuel-injected Buick V8 engines into one remarkable vehicle, producing a reported 1,720 horsepower.
The full-size Showboat achieved a quarter-mile time of 8.12 seconds and a speed of 195 mph. Its unusual four-engine configuration and exhibition racing status made it one of the most memorable dragsters of its era. The car also featured paintwork by future racing legend Don Prudhomme and upholstery by renowned custom car builder Tony Nancy.
