1. The 1938 Buick Y Job looks close too a 1948 Tucker if you look at the rear end of a tucker looks the same . If my memory serves me right Preston Tucker worked for Cadillac was the vice president of Cadillac

2. I see Bugsy driving it through the desert with his dames long scarf trailing behind.

3. What a beautiful piece of automobile design. Notice that they didn't take it out on the public roads.

4. Come on, tap the brakes, use the turn signals and turn the headlights on.

5. That is a truly amazing car.

6. Goodness gracious great fireballs engine.
   I thought for sure they weren't going to take this one out. Glad they did.

7. That car is 80 years old !!!

8. This car was 20 years ahead of its time.

9. I couldn't help but notice the hood on the car. I lived in Missouri in the 60's and while canoeing down the Current river in the Ozark Mountains area saw a boat fashioned from two of this style Buick hoods turned upside down and riveted together tied to a tree on the bank.

10. Awesome.
