Only one Snazzy boat tail car from that era--- The Auburn Speedster.
There were imitators but the Auburn made them look cheap.

I was at Hershey back in the fall. In the Car Corral (the road that runs
around the fields) there was a '30s Packard roadster of some kind that had
an actual aluminum rowboat inverted and incorporated into the rear portion
of the Packard's body: A true "boat"-tail. I figured the owner either had a
very weird sense of humor, or very bad taste.

Got photos somewhere...

Happy reading.

Back in the 1970s, there was a lumber yard about half a mile from
me.Sitting inside of the lumber yard area was an old Graham car.I think
the car dates back to the 1940s, it had a big ''funny'' looking
grillfront end on the car.The car had been sitting there for years.One
day I went over there and I asked if the car was for sale.A guy told me
the car isn't for sale.

One of my old bosses found a Stutz in a cornfield in Oklahoma. Took him
forever to get
the farmer to sell it to him. They would prefer to let it rust away.

To shorten the story, "Spike" had it redone from top to bottom, and it was a
beauty to
behold. I believe he had about $50,000 in it, which seems cheap by today's
standards.

As I remember it, it had an unusual tail as well.

Didnt Allard also have a boat tail car?
