Four-Links – Tucker Carioca drawings found?, building a Wildfire, on the death of the tax disc, wall of wrecked cars

* A group of vintage sketches that resurfaced recently may have been done by Raymond Loewy for Studebaker, but Steve Tremulis at Gyronaut X-1 and other Tucker aficionados believe they’re actually Count Alexis de Sakhnoffsky’s sketches for the Tucker Carioca, Preston Tucker’s never realized follow-up to the Tucker 48.

* Speaking of recently uncovered automobilia, Geoff Hacker this week shared a series of photos from Jim Potter’s collection of Woodill Wildfire images depicting father-son team Ed and Phil Cox building a Wildfire.

* British motorists saw a significant change in their road tax system this past week as the country phased out the tax disc, a bit of automobilia that has been tied to British cars since their beginning. Curbside Classic has more on the change and its significance.

* The Gentleman Racer this week presented a wall of abandoned cars used to shore up an abandoned runway somewhere in Southern California.

* Finally, speaking of long-abandoned vehicles, this week we got an update from Mark Belden, who came across a couple old pickup trucks – a Studebaker and a Ford – down in a ditch on his property near Kingsbury, New York. Lately he’s been working to extract both from their resting spots of half a century, a process that has involved cutting down a swath of trees and some creative come-along work.
