History Hollmann T Bucket (short video)

I have never heard of this one. Looks nice. Maybe someone can supply a little history?

Another famous car that fell off the face of the earth or maybe has been changed over the years until it is unrecognizable. LA roadster member and the 1/8 scale big T was copied from this car. I really like it but I am a T guy. Pat

 

a big favorite of mine, am collecting parts to build a car like it.
thanks for the link.

 

The CHROME COFFIN...77 Sunset Strip.

 

This car came a couple of years after the first buckets of Grabowski and Ivo. It was at least as influential on later T's as the other two.

The Hollman car was the first to utilize the '15-style windshield, lamps and ****on-tufting. Of course, these touches became boringly ubiquitous by the early 70's, but they were completely original in 1958-59.

 

Wasn't it in Disney's Flubber movie?

 

Anyone have pics of the folding top on that car?

 

I think it was on the cover of HRM

 

Was on the cover of the March 1961 HRM along with Grabowski's T tourer and there was a small pic of Marty unfolding the top on the cover of the April 62 R&C.

I built a T-bucket in 62 and used Marty's car as the basis but couldn't find a short cowl body so used an Aussie T truck cowl, 27 doors and a Model A tub.
