1957 XKSS bought for hill climbs. The Brits mean racing uphill on twisty roads, not cross country without a road.

"Hillclimb" in England means racing up a curvy road to the top of a hill; the road is paved the whole way. It's not like an American hillclimb, straight up the side 
Thanks Archie! 

I didn't know the full name of the Tucker model was Torpedo 335

a bit of this and that in the display case at the Automobile Driving Museum in El Segundo

 when only a handful were made, how did anyone ever hold onto the booklet? Wouldn't it be cool as hell if the museums had a bit of good fellowship loaning, and put this with the Turbine car in the Peterson Museum?

Mister G bought a dealership brochure at a swap meet, and way cool! He scanned it! He posted it! http://progress-is-fine.blogspot.ca/2012/02/but-what-about-hovercars-we-were.html 

these are just a couple of the entire brochure, go see the rest!  http://progress-is-fine.blogspot.ca/2012/02/but-what-about-hovercars-we-were.html 

 The "World Buggy Co" ? as part of, or a name for Studebakers?

 This is supposed to be a Packard? Well, as a model car, it's supposed to represent a real car... did Packard ever have one made by a coachbuilder / carrozzeria
