Plastic is fantastic
Our American friend's name is Bob. He lives in Clearwater and trades in - classic - cars. His company is therefore called Bobs Classics. There are a few comments about the 'classic'. Bob specializes in Pure American Polyester such as Excalibur, Clenet, Baci, Blackstone, Buehrig, Moselle and Tiffany. So in Tupperware XXXL. And according to the letter of our law, they are all classics.
All different Tupperware brands
All those American brands - most of them are defunct or have been before - have a longing for the past that characterizes the country without much 'own' history. And about the American state of affairs when it comes to good taste? Books have been written about this. But in essence, “Big, Growling & Shiny” is a nice description of the local preference. By the way, Bob also sells a lot to Germans. They also have a thing for chrome.
Genuine car manufacturers
The Makers there did not present themselves as 'kitcar manufacturers' as in England. They presented themselves as high-quality automotive manufacturers. That they used GM or Ford chassis and technology, and were otherwise inspired by legendary examples such as the Mercedes-Bens 500 and 540K? Well, that made the case for them. That they opted en masse for the use of polyester for the bodywork? Typically a case of 'nice and easy'. And cheap. Also often in terms of appearance. But even then: “Factory built. Not a replica or kit-car! ”
Or surprised: "We have never had a Mercedes Replica with a real Mercedes engine!" And that was an 500K replica with the block of an 190 person.
The molds for all those Tupperware survived many business demolitions and then, under the same or a new name, became the basis of even more impressive. Sustainable!
In the meantime, there is a good market in the States for this kind of classics
Advertisers are constantly cheering for the amounts the Genuine Originals have been auctioned at the most reputable auction houses. If an original raised $ 8.000.000, then $ 29.500 is indeed a bargain for the Tupperware version.
Tiffany so
Tiffany was once again a 'brand' at the time of our fashion model, but the production fell under Classic Motorcycle Carriages, a company that copied all kinds of classics. Tiffany as its own brand would have existed until 1978. To make the confusion even greater, there are also sources that give up Royale Manufacturing Company as the parent company of the Tiffanys.
The whole story came to an end in 1996 after a number of lawsuits about fraud and that kind of side effects. The latest news is that Tiffany would make cars again.
The photo model is one of the other Tiffany coupes
Because 1988 was the last year they were built. The Tiffany's featured an electric sunroof, serious power brakes, dual-muscled power steering, deluxe electrically adjustable seats, power windows, locks, trunk, mirrors, an antenna, a CD player, leather trunk straps, a multi-port 5.0 V8 engine with fuel injection, an automatic gearbox with overdrive, a fully digital dashboard with computer & automatic dimmers, a fuel tank of 100 liters, tinted windows, double-sided spare wheels, real wire wheels, covers over the spare wheels, side supercharger pipes, 4 trumpet horns, fog lights, a badge bar with 2 badges plus a nice gray cloth interior for four people, hand drawn pinstripes. YES !!
All that beauty has been modeled on a brand new 1988 Mercury Cougar and was created by Classic Motor Carriages in Florida. Bob offers this car for $ 27.900.
