G'Day Guys. Many years ago, I saw a blury photo (taken from the air) of a home-made American(?) car being driven by Cubans, I expect, from Cuba to Florida. I guess that they musta' sealed the engine bay. It had a grafted-on pointy nose and was propelled by either a propeller bolted over the detached drive-shaft, or paddle-wheels bolted to the outside of the rear wheels. Strreage was provided by vertical dagger boards attached (lashed?) to the front wheels.
There was someone sitting (dry) on the bonnet/hood.
Does anyone have a copy of this photo? I'd like to make a model of that car.
TIA. George, out...........
