I know this is all breath-taking. But the most spectacular event is still unfolding day-by-day, the introduction of a VERY special, potentially hobby-changing, one-off masterpiece of beauty and harmony. "Here's another clue for you all. The walrus was...." Wait! I almost got sidetracked. Here's the clue.

Oops! It seems the lights from the network cameras have had an unexpected effect on our special model. Let's hope there's no permanent damage. We'll have more to report tomorrow.

Seems there is a lot of debate over the so-called Tucker convertible.
As it is not a 1948 but a more recent custom build. And Mr. Tucker really did not like his cars being called torpedoes either. Seems the Tucker Owners Club thinks the two door convertible car is a fraud. But I remember from a movie they said "Build it and they will come." So some folks think it is real I guess. But not me.
Ah, the wait for the Pierce Arrow limo continues; perhaps some day.
But the hitherto fore unknown 1/43 Cadillac 431a available in 2 versions!
