"Whistling Billy"

A 1905 White Steam car, Whistling Billy. Originally built by the White Company, this steam works sprint car was made for the popular, new, motor racing on the dirt trotting horse tracks throughout North America. It was called "Billy", but soon renamed "Whistling Billy" because of the howl that it's burners made going down the straights.

 

This owner driver, I believe, rebuilt the car and he can really make it howl with clouds of steam.
