2016 "Falconer Dodici", 600 c.i. (9.8L) V-12, 640 HP, 6-spd Auto, aluminum roadster by Randy Grubb. The design takes inspiration from the streamlined 1937 Delahaye Type 145 but amplifies the huge curves even further.

Taken at the Bay Harbor Vintage Car & Boat Show in Bay Harbor, Michigan.

I don't imagine it goes on the road very often. My guess is gas mileage is equivalent to that of an RV or worse. By the way KT, you've re- kindled my interest in antique, classic, and tricked out cars. I've started going to shows again. It's a wonderful way to spend a Saturday or Sunday morning.

They look like 100 spoke chrome rims. I owned a couple of E-Types with 72 spoke chrome rims with a spare set of 60 spoke painted racing rims. Cleaning involved a toothbrush and lots of patience.

I went looking for the weight of this beauty. Came up dry but ran across this article about Grubbsโ€™ creation.
Thank you KTJ for sharing!

Excellent set, Kim, personally, I think the car is UGLY, but well built.

Great shots as usual KT. Attached is a shot of a chrome Bentley that a guy in town actually uses for transportation. Nothing like craving a little attention
