From On the Road to Pebble: The First Video of the Newly Painted Tucker 1044

Mystery Foto #27…. The car in the photo is a 1935 Hudson Terraplane. The photo in the ad was shot in front of The Roslyn Mill Tea House on Old Northern Boulevard in Roslyn. The building, built in the early 18th century, was originally a Grist Mill but in 1916 it became the Roslyn Mill Tea House as shown here.
And if you go down to your local Hudson dealer you can buy one of these Terraplanes for about $695.00 according to the ad.

Andante green is not only the original color ,but very appealing.
Best of luck in show, looks like an outstanding job!

It’s good to read that you folks are networking for solutions. Pooling resources might also help in preserving what you have, such as digitizing materials. Hopefully other communities are watching what you are doing and taking a lesson here.

Good luck with your efforts!

The body is more likely to be aluminum on that Bug. Very nice handiwork!

From Twenty Years Ago, the Alco Black Beast Reached 95 MPH in England

Love to always see the history of the Black Beast but hate to see it in this experimental state. Don’t touch those exposed exhaust system pipes, you will regret it later. Did it achieve 95 mph or 95 kph in England (59.0 mph). I think the latter. Please prove me wrong. Either way, this is still the hottest car on Long Island today

Does anyone know if the headquarters house just off Clinton is in the picture of Roosevelt Field.?

Not sure on the car.  But the building is the old Roslyn Grist Mill.  That is for sure.

The Black Beast near 100 MPH, exhilarating ( and exhausting I’m sure ) at the same time! I’m no auto expert, but the car that Jeff built ( last image ); appears to have a stainless steel body?

The car looks like a 1935 Hudson.
The location looks like the old Roslyn Grist Mill on Northern Blvd. built as a mill in 1701.
The picture in 1935 was when it was the Teahouse.

That’s a 1935 Hudson Special Eight Suburban Sedan parked in front of 1345 Old Northern Blvd. in Roslyn. The historic building was constructed in 1701 as a grist mill. When the photo was taken (presumably in 1935), it was being operated as the Roslyn Mill Tea House.

Hey Sam, that photo listed circa 1935 the Airflow is 1935, side engine vent is 1935, the front grill/hood was somewhat similar to the lower Airstream models from ‘35-‘37. The original 1934 had the waterfall grill design, a dud! It appears to be a series C2, a comparison, ‘35 Buick series 60, (61,67) had same wheelbase as the Airflow C2, about same price, outsold the Airflow. Sam check out the smartly dressed couple at rear of the car, owners? Yes driving deluxe on the LIMP.

Seems like taking on the tasks of an Historian can make one out as a unsung hero. I don’t mind helping out, but being in charge must be daunting at times. Keeping of history has to be a labor of love. My hats off to all who take this on!

O.K,, Mark - another ol’ Eagle Eyes!  And I’m supposedly the Chrysler nut around here.  Blew the pic ‘wau up and sure enough, that’s just what it is.  Well done!  However, it might be a 1935, not the original ‘34; note the projecting prow.  Whatcha t’ink?  Either way, can’t you just see that monster cruising majestically (Imperially?) along the LIMP?  Sam, III

I have a couple of Lighting fixtures that come from an abandoned Vanderbilt home on LI. I think this could be the one.

A Limp Celebration would be awesome. All 3 counties ahould be coordinated for a massive event. From the Queens western terminus to the Lake Ronkonkoma terminus. Somebody should contact Di Blasio to get the ball rolling!

Oog - “Meadow Brook”!  Here’s a Street View shot more closely approximating the Chaplinesque lodge entrance view, allowing for that damn truck obstructing the angle: <http://sbiii.com/limpnass/615merrk.jpg>.  The LIMP ramp is on the far side of the fences.  While we’re at it, stretching my memory, isn’t that greenish-gray Butler building at the left Howard’s old tennis court venture (or next door to it)?  Sam, III
