Have any pics of it shown up on the net yet? I’m asking, because Lucas’s folks supposedly modeled the thing after a Tucker. (George used to own two, not sure if he’s still got them or not.)
I swear to god, before I opened this thread, I thought "This can’t be right-- Unless Bail drives a Tucker. " :smack:
These are not great by any stretch and you probably have already seen these but JIC:
Bail’s speeder exterior. And here is the speeder interior, actually it is the fourth thumbnail down.
Actually hadn’t seen those before. Can’t tell much from the exterior illustration, but the interior shows a few elements, however, I’m certain that Tucker never would have stood for having a giant plastic or metal tit pointed directly at the driver/pilot.
To me the exterior shot seems to hint of rounded part of the hood out towards the headlights in a Tucker. The interior shot looks to have some art decoish styling that I could see being associated with a Tucker. The speeder is for sure not based on a Delorian.
It’s not the best shot, but here’s a close up of a Tucker’s instrument panel. As you can see, there’s an instrument cluster above the steering yoke which seems to reflect the design of the Tucker’s. I think Tucker would be proud.
You might want to check your local bookstore because this is currently on sale, and that vehicle may be one of the ones included.
No, that wouldn’t be a good idea. I’m unemployed at the moment, and thumbing through the book would no doubt fill me with a desire to buy the thing, which I can’t. . . .
