Thanks everyone for taking a look. The pics in the slide show were about evenly divided between those taken with my newly refreshed Canon FTb wearing a Vivitar 28mm TX, and a pair of digital P&S, one of which was wielded by Mo, and the other by me.
Doug, I don't know about the reproductions being built. Randy would probably know more about that than I.
I do remember now that the first prototype was called the Torpedo, but the name was dropped in favor of "Tucker 48" I believe it was intended to be powered by the air-cooled version of the Franklin engine, using an integral automatic transmission. That pairing apparently never came to pass. The Franklin was adapted (or converted) to liquid cooling and used in the production units. Is that approximately correct, Randy?
There is a 427 Cobra that shows up at car shows here fairly regularly, and I believe it the genuine article. It does indeed sound N-A-S-T-Y!!

The Cobra i`ve seen was also obviously a genuine one, because i don`t think, the guys who ownes the oil-fields are riding replicas . BTW the Cobra was followed by a C6R Chevy. MIK
