The Interior featured an array of added instruments, a port-side dash and a Batmobile-style twin-grip yoke steering control. The hull modifications included painting the hull sides and iconic fin gloss black, blonde-stained covering boards, eight Buick porthole ventilators and quad exhaust tips.

#EARLY WOOD RUNABOUT INSTALL#
This enabled him to install a Henry Meyer-built Cadillac V-8. Since even the top-option Cadillac V-8 was not powerful enough for Street, he ordered the boat without an engine. BR-21-010 custom from Chris-Craft through his local dealer. Prior to Street’s passing in 2017, he was known as the only original Cobra owner left, having purchased the boat new in 1955 at the age of 21. This boat is believed to come about as a collaboration between Jim Street and his friend, George Barris. This 1955 Chris-Craft 21’ Black Cobra is perhaps the first-and-only true vintage Hot Rod boat in the classic-boating hobby.
