Interesting design. Looks like Tucker stole the 3rd light option from them.

I only have one model of a Tatra and can't find it or remember the year. I do remember it having a rear engine.

I have several Tatras in my collection but not this one!

Nice to see one that I have actually driven. Carmen, Manitoba, Canada in 1988. Interesting barn with aircraft restoration (Zero etc) for movies and lots of neat old vehicles. Got to drive this one on the restoration property for about half an hour. Unique rear engined Tatra 87.

Bob, Here is the Tatra 77a from 1935 which is virtually the same as the 87 in looks. I have this built from kit. Is this like yours? Avenue 43 did a built one in silver.

I love these rear engined Tatras. Our local Tampa Bay Automobile Museum has several generations of them. They look so cool.

Edit: I filtered by make but that's not how the link came across. Filter by make, but exploring them all is fun!

The Nazis prohibited their officers from driving the 87 because of accidents due to weight transfer. Too bad they caught on...

My only Tatra is this Hachette/Edicola et al 1/24 603.
The Tatra 603 is an iconic Czechoslovak luxury sedan produced from 1956 to 1975. Celebrated for its aerodynamic, streamlined design and rear-mounted air-cooled V8 engine, it was strictly reserved for high-ranking government officials and industrial elites behind the Iron Curtain.
Love this pic. Represents the above so well.
Just love the offbeat design of the vehicle.
