It was a time of peace, and optimism was unbridled... It was then that Rivas roared across the Lago di Como and skimmed the Mediterranean waves off St. Tropez.Thunderboats (also called Hydroplanes) racing with each other at record speed. Stateside, the luxurious Chris Crafts were de rigeur with the Hollywood elite.
The throaty growl of that big engine built inside gleaming mahogany, rich leather, and chrome trim. Leather padded seats displayed movie stars trying out the new bikini fashions. Husband number 3, 4, or 5 behind the wheel, decked out in spotless captain's finery. No Coast Guard was able to overtake these sleek twin-engine torpedo-shaped racers. The curves, the looks, the excitement, the opulence...
