The 60 Special, or "Bug," was built by the Buick racing team. It featured a radical-for-the-time nose cone. The true purpose of the nose cone was more for looks than for aerodynamics. The car featured one serious design flaw: it was too narrow to handle in the corners and tended to tip, requiring the driver to slow down. The four-cylinder 622 cubic-inch engine prove formidable on straight tracks reaching speeds of 110 m.p.h.
