The Lincoln Torpedo – “Cigars of the Pharaoh” (1955). In this majestic convertible we find Tintin driving Professor Sarcophagus and the writer Zlotzky to the asylum in the Lincoln Torpedo Grand Sport (see page 43). Its such a picture of normality this frame, but it hides sheer madness…
This convertible apparently only existed as a project. Indeed, the only trace of this ghost car, created by Jacques Saoutchik, is an advertising drawing from the early thirties that Hergé practically reproduced as is.
