Fly By Night 100 Year Old Hot Rod
3 pp · non-fiction; car

Back in 1861, the skilled craftsmen at Mr. Carrett's Sun Foundry in Leeds were assembling an extraordinary steam-powered carriage for a client named Mr. Salt—a five-ton, nine-seat marvel that could reach speeds unheard of at the time. When Mr. Salt's daring machine hits the roads of England and later the Great London World's Fair of 1862, it attracts both wonder and trouble, as police and concerned citizens clash with the vehicle's speed and presence. The carriage, eventually renamed "Fly By Night," passes through the hands of adventurous owners, each finding their own way to outrun the law's disapproval.

Racing against time and the elements, Speed must pilot his vehicle through collapsing terrain, raging mud, and a half-submerged trestle to get power restored to a desperate town—if he can keep the car under control long enough to make the crossing.
