A Rarin’ Reality with ACs

Dream-car performance… a rarin’ reality with ACs!

When advance engineers give the nod to a spark plug for their experimental babies it has to be the best. ACs are standard equipment on the experimental Shark. The same AC Fire-Ring Spark Plugs can soup up your starts and straightaways. One reason: AC’s tapered insulator tip — it heats faster, cools faster, cleans itself—no conking out due to fouling deposits. Regardless of what type of car you drive, ask for ACtion…ask for AC.

The XP-755 Chevrolet Corvette Shark: 102.1″ wheelbase, 192.2″ overall, 327 cubic-inch displacement, V-8 engine featuring Roots-type supercharger, 4 side-draft carburetors and developing over 400 horsepower.

That double-bubble roof on this ‘Vette concept is dead sexy.

Uninterrupted Strain of Instantaneous Acceleration

Enzo Ferrari for Champion
“Brilliant Italian Race Car Manufacturer Pays Tribute to Dependable Champion Spark Plugs
‘The victory /of Alberto Ascari in one of our Ferrari cars in the 22nd Grand Prix of Italy at 115.547 miles per hour average, established new all-time records for the Monza track, and also established the highest speed attained in European circuits. This 4½ litre 12-cylinder Grand Prix Ferrari was equipped with 24 Champion Spark Plugs which withstood perfectly the uninterrupted strain of instantaneous acceleration and equally instaneous deceleration demanded by European type of racing tracks. At Monza, as on most European race courses, sharp turns and severe braking alternate with straight stretches where flat out speed is possible. We attribute a great deal of the merit of our success in the Grand Prix of England, Grand Prix of Germany, Grand Prix of Italy and the Monza Pan-American Race to the magnificent performance and unfailing dependability of Champion Spark Plugs.’
—Enzo Ferrari
