And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
As a young budding gearhead, back in the 80s, I had the privilege of working on a Tucker in restoration. Said work consisted of gently scraping undercoat off the bottom of the body with a 1" putty knife. Not nearly as glamorous as it sounds but the finished product was/is spectacular AND I got a short ride and a lifelong addiction to the obscure side of automobilia out of the experience.
Car was ahead of its time as far as safety features went. Good movie with I believe it was Jeff Bridges.
ReplyDeleteThere's a real one - from the movie - at the Coppola winery in Northern California.
ReplyDeleteThinking other than a documented clay model that this design was promotional.
ReplyDeleteThe winery car is Model 48 version rather than this dramatic design.
