It had numerous names :

Thunderbowl Comet -
Quote ..Comet got its moniker from the owner of the Carpinteria Thunderbowl, a quarter-mile dirt oval track in the town of Carpinteria, near Santa Barbara...

Golden Eagle -
Quote ..according to a September 1941 Popular Mechanics article, the Comet went by the name Golden Eagle when driver Ted Ellis aimed to break the absolute land-speed record (then at 357 MPH)...

Falcon - from the movie Speed (1936)
Quote (According to Ohioan Ron Carbaugh, it was built by Harlan Fengler in the 1930s for the Metro film studio, specifically for use in the 1936 Jimmy Stewart film Speed. In the film, the car – known as the Falcon...)

Which is problematic in terms of naming this, since it is one and the same car.
On this serial's imdb trivia they call it the Comet, so I went by that, but not fully sure which name should be more correct :/
