Retouched black and white photo of a model of MISS UNITED STATES III, shown from the transom. A caption on the verso reads, "STREAMLINED STERN ASSEMBLY-Striking stabilizer and sloping rear deck give Miss United States III a streamlined stern. Twin Evans Helivar propellers which drive the power boat are built to turn at 9,200 r.p.m. Twin exhaust pipes discharge engine gases above the water. The specially designed Helivar rudder is designed to provide maximum stability at high speeds. Miss United States III was built as a high-speed laboratory to test new marine products." Photo is also marked "From: Communications Counselors, Inc., 1060 National Bank Building, Detroit 26, Michigan."
