Glass Slipper (dragster)

Glass Slipper is a pioneering streamliner dragster. Making her debut in 1957, Glass Slipper was created by Califironia drag racers Roy and Ed Cortopassi. The workmanship was so good, she won "America's Most Beautiful Competition Car" at the 1957 Oakland Roadster Show. After a fire subsequent to the record effort, in 1960, Glass Slipper reappeared with a GMC supercharger and Hilborn injection. This enabled the dragster to set a best e.t. of 8.93 seconds and a best speed of 172 mph (277 km/h) at Vacaville, California. She was retired in 1961. In the 1990s, the car was restored.
