southpier Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 i hate to start new topics, but there's just too much fun going on in the Volkswagen anniversary thread to break it up. anyway, these things are seriously cool: http://www.nbc.com/jay-lenos-garage/photos/tatra-t87/318936
Atmobil Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 Tatras are cool cars, one of my dreamcars is Tatra 603
pharoah Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 Not a bad looking car. I saw this one on Ebay a few years back. It's a 1950.
aurfalien Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 He's got the most amazing collection. I love watching his show. I'm going to ask him to adapt me.
lordairgtar Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 (edited) Any model kits of Tatras out there?

There has been a diecast 1/43rd model as well. Edited May 29, 2015 by lordairgtar
Lunajammer Posted May 30, 2015 Posted May 30, 2015 Any model kits of Tatras out there? Scott Member KennB did one from scratch, the way he did most of his models. Sadly, most of the photos are missing from his build thread and he hasn't been around the last several months. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=44750
Atmobil Posted May 30, 2015 Posted May 30, 2015 (edited) I have seen that orange and black rally 603 in person. It used to take part in a local rally here every year before but then they stopped organizing the rally. It is a very special car because it is the only one that has been factorybuilt for rallying in the Tatra factory. I have a 1:43 diecast of a 603 made by IXO. I have also seen a large toy car verion of one on Ebay. I think it was something like 1:20-1:18 in scale and made way back then when they where new cars. Edited May 30, 2015 by Atmobil
ChrisBcritter Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 Don't forget their little promo film Happy Journey: You could argue for calling the Tucker the American Tatra...
southpier Posted May 31, 2015 Author Posted May 31, 2015 fantastic! do we know what car the police van was?
Ace-Garageguy Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 (edited) I think I remember seeing a Tatra make an appearance in the 1997 film "Gattaca"...but I could be wrong. Edited May 31, 2015 by Ace-Garageguy
Brizio Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 I like those old Tatra, but above all the Tatra Trucks! A friend of mine was racing a 8x8 on trial races!
unclescott58 Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 (edited) Don't forget their little promo film Happy Journey: You could argue for calling the Tucker the American Tatra... Great video Chris! Where did you find that? Makes me want to own a Tatra more than ever. It's quirky styling looks right to me. Scott Edited May 31, 2015 by unclescott58
southpier Posted May 31, 2015 Author Posted May 31, 2015 the "polisher" so much reminded me of Mr Hulot.
Darren B Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 My favorite Tatra......... very cool loved the movie and the cars............
unclescott58 Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 (edited) the "polisher" so much reminded me of Mr Hulot. Okay, I tried, but I could not get though this film. Watched all but the last twenty minutes before I threw in the towel. It was somewhat amusing and the 50's American cars were cool. But..... I sure I'm missing a lot not knowing Spanish. When again, I not so sure? Again it was amusing. But. The Tatra film is much better. Scott Edited June 2, 2015 by unclescott58
southpier Posted June 1, 2015 Author Posted June 1, 2015 i think it's French. Jacques Tati is a genius in my book, but will acquiesce it's not for everyone.
