Marvin, Keith, “Museum displays unique Hungerford
rocket car”, Old Cars Weekly News & Marketplace,
July 21, 1994. Marvin concluded his article by noting
his plan to donate his Hungerford file to the
State Museum and wrote, “with the car itself on one
hand [in the Museum] and its history and related
material on the other [his possession], one is of
minor importance in automotive history without
the other.” Happily, Marvin did give the Museum
his Hungerford materials.

Unknown. H. Steven Sekella recalls a pamphlet or
book about the Hungerford brothers and their rocket
car. Daniel Hungerford lent this to Sekella’s
mother at one time; it was returned. Sekella in telephone
conversation with Geoffrey Stein, November
3, 2008, said he doesn’t know who wrote the work
or how extensive it is “or anything”. One wonders
if this might be the piece Hungerford recalls having
been written by Horace P. Bull of the Syracuse Post-
Standard.
