The Jaguar XK120 ruled the road; Doris Day and Cary Grant were Oscar
nominated. It was a time of peace, and optimism was unbridled… It was
then that Rivas roared across the Lago di Como and skimmed the
Mediterranean waves off St. Tropez. Thunderboats (also called
Hydroplanes) racing with each other at record speed. Stateside, the
luxurious Chris Crafts were de rigeur with Hollywood elite.
The
throaty growl of that big engine built inside gleaming mahogany, rich
leather, chrome trim. Leather padded seats displayed movie stars trying
out the new bikini fashions. Husband number 3, 4, or 5 behind the
wheel, decked out in spotless captain’s finery. No Coast Guard was able
to overtake these sleek twin-engine torpedo shaped racers. The curves,
the looks, the excitement, the opulence… 31.5 x 11.75 x 9" 80 x 30 x 23cm
