Project:           The Cooler King

Overview:                                          Named after Steve McQueen’s character in The Great Escape,  this 500 Triumph marries the best of  classic Triumph styling with current technology.  Even the color scheme...’55 Chevy gray and ‘56 Buick coral...keeps the 1950’s theme.
