I am getting old and forgetfull
I was exploring the internet and ran across this Tatra car
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tatra_87 I think it looks like another car, but I cannot pull it out of my memory, and did not turn up anything with image search, but I think there was an American car than looked like this. Any suggestions?

Not thinking of the Tucker Torpedo by any chance are you John?
 This is a paper model of one, but my only reference to it is via Google to a pirate site.

The closest one I can think of is a Chrysler Airflow.

Tatra is a Czech auto manufacturer. The 603 is a beauty.

Thanks it was the three head lights on the Tatra I knew I had seen before. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tucker_48) It makes me wonder if Preston Tucker had seen a Tatra.

Looks like the love child of a Tucker Torpedo and a Citroen DS

There is a 1/25 paper model of the Tatra 87 that I got a couple of years ago from GPM. The 3rd headlight that turned with the front wheels was not that rare in the 30's and 40's. Just the Tatra and Tucker's were much better integrated with the styling, the others were more like a spotlight mounted on the bumper.

Just in case anyone wants it, I found a legal link to the Tucker model ...
HIPERFANAUTO: PAPER MODEL - MODELISMO EM PAPEL As for the Tatra 87, this is as close as I got ... KPM - Klub papĂ*rovĂ˝ch modelářů • Zobrazit tĂ©ma - Tatra 87 / Attimon / 1:24 It does prove that there's a model out there somewhere, but I'm only finding it on pirate sites.
