petelempert Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Oh man. So awful, it's actually sort of cool. The more you look, the stranger it gets. I think there is a Tucker emblem on the trunk lid, a 69 Mustang faux side grill near the door, gullwing t-tops? and the rubber thing on the tip of the rear bumper looks like a toilet plunger. Very freaky. I love this hobby! PRL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RivNut Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 (edited) In my own mind I have to give the builder a A for workmanship but an F for concept. Just doesn't work for me. Perhaps he could feature it as the Riviera to be in the next Death Race movie.Ed Edited May 7, 2015 by RivNut (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Stoneberg Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Too much time / money / effort for what it ended up looking like. I like the idea of the Death Race movie idea, it fits there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleach Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 It's also hard to believe someone bid as much as they did on it.http://www.ebay.com/itm/1946-Tucker-Torpedo-Prototype-II-/221489120870?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&forcerrptr=true&hash=item3391c7c666&item=221489120870&nma=true&si=yhdAhoPDzD2gIlLRGEf%252F7LlVDUg%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
