This Thomas Flyer K 6-70 Tourabout is one of the most original Thomas Tourabouts to survive today. During the 1940s and early 1950s, the car appeared in several Paramount Pictures movies before it was acquired by the car collector William Harrah. Known as 'Big Blue,' this rare Thomas Flyer is the only surviving Tourabout and still has all of its original coachwork. In the late 1950s, the Harrah Collection mechanics dismantled the entire car and embarked on a well-documented 'Gold Star' restoration that, although the car was freshened up in 2015, has stood the test of time. This car has been a part of the Louwman Museum Collection in the Netherlands for over a dozen years and is used for events and tours all over the United States.
