Harry P. Posted October 8, 2014 Author Posted October 8, 2014 Several fake Tuckers on 1974 GM chassis were built for the movie.
Ace-Garageguy Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 Beautiful red Porsche 356 A sunroof coupe, slightly lowered like an enthusiast would have done. Looked arrow-straight, sounded spot on. Period-correct aftermarket luggage racks, mirrors, etc.
ChrisBcritter Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 Saw a very sharp '64 or so Rolls Royce Silver Cloud III (the older body with quad headlights) pulling out of a gas station at Lake Avenue and Green Bay Road in Wilmette; two-tone metallic gray over silver.
deuces wild Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 How about a dark blue '66 er '67 Pontiac Lemans and a '65 Plymouth of some sort.. Both were nice!!
Tom Geiger Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 I've been working in NJ every day this week so I've been on the major roads like the PA Turnpike and Route 95. I've noticed a lot of antique cars being moved around on car carriers. Of course these are all going the opposite way in fast traffic so I have no photos. The other day I saw one of those pickup truck mounted 3 car carriers on Route 95, first car was a black early 60s Mercedes SL and the other two behind this were both 4 door Jeeps. Today I saw two different shipments. One car mixed in with modern cars was about a 1940 Studebaker. Later on a carrier breezed by me with a 46-48 Chevy fastback amongst it's load.

Hershey is this weekend I think
Tom Geiger Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 Hershey is this weekend I think Yes it is, a friend sent me a photo of a Citroen 2CV van in the car corral. But all these trucks were going the wrong direction! I'm a half hour west of Philly and all those trucks were headed towards NJ!
Ace-Garageguy Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 A white Ford GT in Buckhead. A pearl yellow Jag E-type Series III roadster on the way back. A black '46 Plymouth coupe in downtown Marietta.
deuces wild Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 (edited) Saw a '70ish Caddy hearse all ratted out with black primer for paint and a scull and cross bones front plate. Must be that time of year I guess.. Must be the season of the.. Well you know how the song goes... Edited October 10, 2014 by deuces wild
MrObsessive Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 Saw this outside of Cincinnati, OH in Blue Ash just a few hours ago! First I've EVER seen one of these on the road------and in the rain yet! It's nice to have your iPhone handy at times like this!
Rob Hall Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 A gray Rolls Royce Phantom,4 Tesla Ses (dark red, gray, white, and black), and a rather rare Mercedes-Benz SL AMG Black Series in white.
cobraman Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 Man I gotta get out more ! I don't see any of that stuff ! : )
Tom Geiger Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 Man I gotta get out more ! I don't see any of that stuff ! : ) Funny you should say that... I usually don't leave my property for days at a time when I work from home. Went nowhere at all today!
Rob Hall Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 Man I gotta get out more ! I don't see any of that stuff ! : ) Location, location, location as they say in real estate. I work in Scottsdale and took a scenic route through Paradise Valley to go home...
FASTBACK340 Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 I saw a Lexus driver use his turn signal on the Parkway! All kidding aside, if you guys want to see what I see everyday, will you all get sick of it? Where I work I can snap some new stuff almost daily….
CJ1971 Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 Saw this sitting on a trailer just outside where I work... I'm going to let you guys guess what it is ??
Joe Handley Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 (edited) Looks like an early Holden, but what's with the lack of a roof? Edited October 11, 2014 by Joe Handley
Rob Hall Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 Looks like an early Holden, but what's with the lack of a roof? Maybe it was a homemade convertible at one time, or someone cut it off to use on a restoration..
CJ1971 Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 Looks like an early Holden, but what's with the lack of a roof? Close enough ... First Holden made, the FJ. The truck hauling it is a Film ( Empire Films ) vehicle... So I suspect it's a movie prop ??
