It's one man's vision of a modern Tucker Torpedo, based on a 71 or 72 Buick Riviera.  I don't know the man's name, however.  I'm working on it.

Augh!  I've been looking for the name, but can't find it so far.  I even found a YouTube video that shows him talking about the car (it's hideous looking and everything he says is pure BS, BTW).  I just can't find the name.  Still looking though.

Was abroad and had in mind that there was mentioned a certain name of the builder, but was obviousely mistaken with another puzzle.
Sorry for that!

One point for you K5ING !

If it's unlocked I finally have the answer.
This is a REAL Tucker!

...I mean it was built by a Mr. Roy Tucker that is not related to Preston Tucker.
He received the designs Alex Tremulis did for Preston and decided to build it.
And after all there was a huge work in this project...the result is questionable but it sure deserve respect.
