Welcome to our new website for our Rocket Ship Car®. This site will be strictly dedicated to the history of the ride from Euclid Beach Park known as the "Rocket Ships"®. We would like to thank all of the support we have had from our families, close friends, past employees, and our customers. Through this site, and it's parent site, www.euclidbeachpark.com, we will continually keep everyone updated with some of the new and exciting things we have been up to with our Rocket Ship Car®, over the past winter months!

The new venture in Florida has taken flight fairly well. Many people down south have relocated here from Cleveland, and there is a lot of "product recognition" with many of the residents in the sunshine state. For us it is all about making people smile...just the way Euclid Beach Park® did for so many generations in Cleveland. For more history on that park be sure to visit the following websites: www.euclidbeachpark.com, www.humphreycompany.com, and www.euclidbeach.com. Thanks for visiting our site, and have an "Amusing day"!

Sincerely,"The Euclid Beach Boys"

FYI

One of the most frequently asked questions we receive is "Does your Rocket Car have a rocket engine in it"?  First of all our car is named after the ride that operated at Euclid Beach Park® from the mid 1930's until it closed in 1969.   The ride was called the "Rocket Ships".  Our car is powered by a bored and stroked big block Chevrolet gas engine.  The cubic inch is 512, and is producing around 525 horsepower.  Because of the weight of the car a large cubic inch engine is needed to create enough torque to adequately move the Rocket Ship Car® down the highway.  The car runs on regular pump gas, usually 87 octane, (not rocket fuel) without a problem.  So technically our car is really not a rocket car, but it is a car that looks like a Rocket Ship!

***NEW*** acquisitions have been made!

Stay tuned here for further details! You will never be able to guess what they are!

First Hint: Our finds have something to do with "Music & a non-produced ride car design! (sort of)
