Hi Guys,
Just bought this wonderful replica of a 1926 Car Cruiser Model 3.
None survived and this was home made by Dave Silvester in his garage in 9 months! It tows so well as its only 267Kg in weight. We get such a lot of attention when out and about. I have put a lot of photos on Flickr.
It does have original early 1930's car cruiser wheels, springs, tow hitch, china and glasses.

That looks to me to be a very nice 'replica'... I like the tow coupling and the timber chassis.

I suppose the build would have been done almost entirely from photos of the original ?
Were they able to find photos of the interior fittings and lay-out?
