A little night action at Lyons. That 65 Tempest is BRUTUS. It's a M/T Pontiac Hemi. I'm somewhere behind the tower in the staging lanes.

These models were on display at the Truck Engineering Validation Center when it stood at South Blvd and Woodward in Pontiac. They are currently on display in the lobby of the GM Heritage Center. I'll try and grab some pics the next time I am over there. K

That's very interesting Keith but I've never seen that.
The model I saw was of the actual Fischer Coach. I googled it and apparently it's a common subject. Lots of photos of different interpretations...

His coach received the highest score for quality and craftsmanship of any entry before. His version is what earned him enough fame to be provided tools to create the other truck models. K

I think the original article that I saw somewhere was about a 13~14 y.o. boy and it was in the 1930s. Actually, now that I think about it, it may have been posted here or somewhere else by one of the guy's relatives. I think they dug the model and an article about it out of an attic or something like that.
The story above is quite remarkable in it's own right though. Amazing what a determined individual can do under extreme circumstances.

1956 Packard Clipper models. These appear to be 1/8 scale.

I just finished reading that in 1955 Packard got a world record with their new V8- 107 MPH average for 8,000 miles. The average speed of 107 included pit stops!

I don't know. It was a short note in "Roddin' at Random" in May '55 Hot Rod Magazine.
