1928 Porter Touring Car

OK, we’ve gone on about the 1928 Porter, and now it’s time to say … April Fools! If you haven’t remembered the car by now, it’s my duty to tell you that it actually never existed–not until 1965, that is. This car was the star of TV’s My Mother The Car, which was only on for one year (1965-66). Barris Kustom Industries built it exactly as described above, but with a 283-cubic-inch V-8 and Powerglide (two-speed) automatic transmission. Yes, there are replica(r)s, and a 1928 Porter Touring Car is at the Star Cars Museum in Gatlinburg.
