}}Scuderia is a streamliner dragster.[1]

In 1963, Jack Williams' Vancouver, British Columbia–based drag racing team (Williams-Devine-McDougall) rebuilt Williams' old slingshot rail with a new aluminum body (painted in blue metalflake), with a very long, pointed nose, faired-in engine, and blue-tinted Lexan canopy over the cockpit.[2] The car's front wheels were spoked motorcycle wheels, the exhausts long "weed cutter"-style pipes (exiting horizontally, rather than vertically).[3]

The engine was a {{convert|404|cid|cc|abbr=on}} Chrysler hemi with a front-driven Potvin supercharger. Ron Lowe replaced Devine and McDougall.[4]

Scuderia made her debut at the 1963 NHRA Winternationals at Pomona, California in Top Gas, recording a best pass of 8.83 seconds at {{convert|169.17|mph|km/h|abbr=on}} before mechanical trouble sidelined her. She also won the "Best Appearing" award.[5] At Arlington, Scuderia set a Top Gas record (average of two passes) at {{convert|162.22|mph|km/h|abbr=on}}.[6]

The car was retired in 1967. In the 1980s, Scuderia made a comeback when Williams entered her in West Coast nostalgia drag races, crashing at Fremont. He restored the car and returned to racing in the early 1990s.[7]
