Description

Alexander Sarantos Tremulis (January 23, 1914 in Chicago, Illinois, United States - December 29, 1991 in Ventura, California) was a Greek-American industrial designer in the North American automotive industry. Tremulis held automotive design positions at Cord Automobile, Duesenberg, General Motors, Tucker Car Corporation and Ford Motor Company before establishing a consulting firm. In 1936, he was named Chief Stylist for Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg, and remained in that role until the company failed in 1937. Among his projects were the now famous and classic Cord 810 and 812 series, as well as a custom Duesenberg roadster having both convertible and hardtop options. After the War, Tremulis worked with the design firm of Tammen & Denison until Preston Tucker hired him to design the 1948 Tucker Sedan. The first production Tucker automobiles were powered by a converted Franklin helicopter engine supplied by Air Cooled Motors. This 3D model is based on 6 different sketches made by Alex Tremulis between 1945 and 1947. It was difficult enough to work without blueprints, particularly with drawings : it appears that some parts are "impossible" to make in 3D... This model is dedicated to my friend Dominique ( Domi48 on RR ) because, as he does not like the shapes of the Buick Le Sabre, I am sure that he will find "UGLY", "AWFUL"and "CREEPY" this project.

Exactly, my friend! Je trouve ça très ugly, lourdaud et j'en passe. LE BON GOUT! Bien sûr, ta modélisation est impeccable!

Vains dieux ! si j'ose m'exprimer ainsi en ces lieux ! Ou c'est moi qui ai mauvais goût ou Domi48 se trompe : pour moi, elle est superbe et je reste, encore une fois, béat d'admiration devant ton talent de créateur.

Alex Tremulis was indeed a master of design my friend. I saw the Tucker film many years ago and have always been fascinated by his visions. Excellent and unique model work Alain :-)

I recall seeing only 2 versions over the years and I was impressed with the options the car had. especially with headlights that would turn with the wheels.

superb modeling
