Mr. Horsepower is the cartoon mascot and logo of Clay Smith Cams, an auto-shop established in 1931. He is a sneering, cigar smoking bird with red feathers and a yellow beak. The image is a caricature of legendary hot rod guru Clay Smith (1921-1954), well known for his red hair.[1] Mr. Horsepower is rarely without a cigar, but when he is, he has a “cigar replacement” – such as a candy cane for the holidays.
