    The Thunderbird was built for real estate magnate George Whitell sometime in the early 1930’s.

    When Bill Harrah bought her, early 60’s, he had two Allison aircraft engines put in and boosted top speed from 45mph-75mph.

    According to Bill Watson Harrah referred to her as his, “70mph cocktail lounge”.
