Life magazine never seen photo archive released

Sept 1945

 

/\/\ I have never seen that car before, I have lots of pics and done alot of searching of gm concept and prototype cars.
Looks to be based on the corvette.

 

Here's one from Cadillac:

"Got a little wang to it!"

 

Harley Earl

 

Firebird II

 

Penny loafers. Everyone should own a pair. Oh, use a shiney penny.

 

engine search

 

The sign behind the guy doing the scuplting says it's a Buick Wildcat III...It screams 50's Buick styling.

 

The Life photos provided a picture of another Tucker body that was not known to exist untill now. If you look closely at the body it has a "big" back glass. All other cars have a small rear window.

 

I'm suprised someone hasn't posted this yet.

 

Wow, I didnt see that one. I'm building a 57 convertible and I typed everything I could think f looking for pics of 57's.

 

Yes you are right. I posted that picture on the Tucker Club Message Board, and the picture raised some eyebrows over there It seems like the Tucker with the big back window could be a prototype Tucker that Alex Tremulis worked on when the factory was closed down
