Chrysler Queen H-1 is a mid-1950's Lauterbach 7 Litre class hydroplane. Owner/Driver George "Buddy" Byers went on to compete in the unlimited classes of hydroplane and was well known for his aggressive style of racing.  His supercharged Chrysler powered hydroplane was a 6 time National Champion. This hydroplane also is the world's record holder of 168.2 MPH for this class. You will notice this hydroplane carries the #1 after the Letter "H" for his race number. If you win the national championship that year the following year gave you the right to carry the designated "1". The potvin supercharger on this vintage hydroplane is being driven from off front of the motor. That is one reason while the engine cowling is so long. The little hand pump you see on the drivers right side cowling is seen on alot of the older vintage hydroplanes. This is used to push the gasoline in the fuel cell up to the motor when you first start the engine. Bob Cunningham was the long time crew chief and mechanic for this fine example of a winning vintage hydroplane.
