TYPHOON 1929 SPEEDBOAT Model (33in)

The pedigree of the Typhoon dates back to the days of the Gold Cup Races. The original Typhoon was designed back in 1929 by George Crouch. Among the other famous designs from George Crouch were the ever popular Baby Bootleger, and the award winning Teaser, to name a few.

The Teaser became famous by winning the celebrated time trial against the Twentieth Century Limited from New York City to Albany in 1925. She beat the record by more than an hour. The Twentieth Century Limited was the fastest train on the rails at that time.
