Paul Greenstein is a fairly normal American fan of old things, he has a few jukeboxes in his garage, some disassembled Indian motorcycles, a green convertible in pre-renovation condition and also glowing neon lights on the walls. So far there is nothing strange about it, but one of the neon signs shows the logo of the Kopřivnicka automobilka Tatra and the convertible is a Skoda Felicia from the 1960s.
And then his beautifully restored jewel, the Tatra T87 , gets to speak. And Paul talks about her with real fanaticism in his eyes. And he is certainly not one of those Americans who know nothing about Europe. On the contrary, he spills stories about Tatra from his sleeve, which not even a native of our country knows. in addition, he also collects items related to the Tatra, such as a board game about the journey of Hansel and Sigismund . And he rates driving the Tatra as driving a Toyota from the 90s with an added sporting experience. That's certainly high praise for our eight-cylinder sedan. Let's hope that he will similarly restore other beauties in his yard, where his Tatra 600 , Tatra 603 and one more T87 example are waiting to be restored to glory, but also for example a BMW Isetta , Tucker 48 (incorrectly often called Tucker Torpedo according to the film) or MG B GT . Are you interested in how Tatra looks on the streets of Los Angeles ? Well, take a look.
