I searched and found a toy model on Ebay that looks similar to it.

But, I know it's not it.

Before my time.

I owned the follow up to the bug, the squareback...with a Porsche engine.
The worst car ever built..I still dont understand how I survived it!

Everything on it was fucked...you name it, it was a total disaster!
Brakes, steering, engine, heater, awful...yet, on the surface, it looked like the best design ever,
compact, fast, no visible engine, roomy inside, nimble...what a let down!

It's prolly the boat where Joe Kennedy tried to drown his mad sister...instead, he gave her a lobotomy
with a pair of scissors himself...she was deadly quiet after that.

FDR heard about it and had mobster Joe quit the Presidency race over it!

Originally known as Lenore II for owner Sewell Avery in 1931. The ex-presidential motor yacht has endured a long and fruitful career under the American government, being used by the likes of Harry S. Truman and Dwight D. Eisenhower.

Originally known as Lenore II, the motor yacht was brought into naval service during World War II, equipped with more powerful engines and artillery. The yacht was then later used as tender to the famous Presidential yacht Potomac, the 50m 'Floating Whitehouse'.

Renamed in Kennedy's term after Grandmother

It is Hermann Goering's yacht, the Carin II. Previously owned by Gerd Heidemann ( the guy who discovered Hitler's Diaries). Mr.  Heidemann is in extreme debt including 150,000 Euros he still owes for shipyard expenses when he owned the yacht. It originally cost 1.3 Million Reischmarks, an astronomical sum for a private vessel at the time.The 90ft-long (27.5 Metres) 70 ton Carin II was described by one contemporary newspaper as "a symbol of German shipbuilding supremacy, a floating embassy for the state". The construction and presentation attracted great public interest as it was the first vessel of its type and size to be built.

Is it Goering's yacht?

Think so?
