In the 1960s, the Jaguar XKE ruled the road. Doris Day and Cary Grant were Oscar nominated. It was a time of peace, and optimism was unbridled.  Design and styling were being discovered again!

That's when Italian yacht builder Carlo Riva's sleek, futuristic-looking runabouts roared across the Lago di Como and skimmed the Mediterranean waves off St. Tropez.  These stylish speedboats were instant status symbols for the rich and famous.  Stateside, the luxurious Chris Crafts of similar styling were de rigeur with Hollywood elite.

Here, we present your own full-scale model of this prestigious runabout.  Hand-finished with lots of rich mahogany wood and multiple coats of gleaming varnish, these models are authentic replicas of the real thing.  (BTW, if you want to see the "real thing," they're frequently exhibited at antique & classic boat shows.  For more info, you can visit The Antique & Classic Boat Society:  http://www.acbs.org/.
