Great website, Bagger . . . thanks for sharing!

I "experienced" a Tucker (very possibly this one) at a Barrett-Jackson a few years ago . . . one very impressive vehicle!

Very nice Cars to find.

I saw one at a car museum in Strasburg PA (The Gast Motorcar exhibit).

Also, someone had actually made a very convincing clone built into a street rod. It was on the power tour a few years back.

Don't you just think it might make a really cool street rod or custom??!!!

It has some really neat lines!!

posted this before,

but rode next to one on a single car hauler flatbed on I-10 heading west in the Columbus, TX area at my exit for Austin.
I could only assume the vehicle was heading to California.

The color of the Tucker I saw was the infamous "Waltz Blue"

I was freaking out when I saw it ahead and SPED up to catch it before my exit got any closer. Such a beautiful machine.

I mentioned that --- someone had it on the power tour a few years back - can't remember if it was '06 or '07. I can't find any pictures and I was certain I took some. It was featured in the magazine, so I'll do some digging to find it.

Ok... I found it -- March 2007 issue of HOTROD, page 42.
