My take? Sure it can only go 55 mph, but this is SZ. 20th-century U.S. millitary hardware is always cool. Plus I like the look of some versions.
Interestingly, the camshaft only had 6 lobes - each cylinder's intake and exhaust valves were operated by one lobe. This apparently made designing cam profiles pretty difficult.
