Brian Austin Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 This Tucker was built as a tribute, by a guy whose last name happened to be Tucker...no relation to the "other" one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamsuperdan Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 As mentioned, that Caddy is the Sbarro Tag Function car. And a few were actually built. Sbarro have always built wacky cars. And still do to this day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have just insulted all '60s Rivieras everywhere. This one is a 70s-something! (I'm surprised the builder forgot the G. Barris Fake Pimp Side Exhausts, which would have really MADE the backbirth!)

NYLIBUD Posted August 22, 2019 Author Share Posted August 22, 2019 Oh no I really like the Rivera.Yea I think it’s a 71-74,or somewhere in between.But why do people do this to their cars?They have the right to make their car whatever they want, but come on....This is too odd for my taste.But again,nice body work.

Scott Colmer Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 I am weeping for that boattail riv that got hooked up with the wrong type of customizer. Sad end to my favorite American design. Poor girl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Austin Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 (edited) The paisley roadster comes from a 1973 issue of Hot Rod, while I've apparently had the little slip of paper with the steam car ad since the '90s but can't recall where I got it. I've been unable to find any info on the car, if any were built. Edited August 24, 2019 by Brian Austin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad's father bought this '57 Handyman brand new, traded it for a '72 "Chevy" LUV before he died, which is what I inherited. So seeing any wagon no matter what is done to it, makes me smile.

Gumball Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 I guess that not everything here is exactly a car, I guess I feel safe to share a backyard project of mine... And yes it's a snowblower welded to a mini bike, with a bicycle wheel mounted on the front. Maybe one day it could pass safety... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
