Jay Leno's garage

[rocky5517]

On Leno's latest show he goes for a ride in G.M.'s futuristic "FireBird" from the mid-50's. GM's engineers had actually produced a self driving car 60 years ago; also, a turbine car that could run on anything that mixed with Oxygen. When they took the car to Mexico it ran on tequila/ in France it ran on perfume. 60 years ago.

  Anyway, in the first picture, of the engine, what do those 2 black things remind you of?

In the second pic, does that warbird ring a bell?
