Silver Eagle

From the Los Angeles Times, Morning Briefing, Thursday, August 5, 1971

The same type of batteries used to power the Apollo 15 Lunar Rover on the moon this week pushed an earthbound vehicle to a new speed record Wednesday at Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah.
The Silver Eagle, driven by Jack Reed of Huntington Beach, sped to a record of 135.78 mph for electric cars. The car was powered by 120 silver-zinc fuel cells.

Note: The car did not use "fuel cells"; the correct term is "battery cell",
and 180 cells were used, not 120.
