Tucker at 2011 MCACN front hall way entrance

[ORIGLS6]

I had never seen a Tucker in person until this year, ..... and then I saw two in a little over a month, ......... both Green. There was one at the Hunnert Car Pileup in Decatur, IL on October 8th, then I walk in to MCACN and see what I thought was the same car. Not so. I had a chance to chat with the car's caretaker in the lobby Saturday evening. The car at MCACN was the star of the movie, "Tucker, The Man and His Dream" and has Jeff Bridges' autograph on the dash. The car at the HCPU was from Wisconsin.

Like Rick said above, the cars were so far ahead of their time it's no surprise the Big 3 felt threatened.

I heard a couple of people ask (jokingly), "What's a Tucker doing at a Musclecar Show?"

Sorry folks, but I wouldn't turn away a Tucker at ANY kind of show! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/worship.gif[/img]


FWIW, he also told me they've verified 47 of the 51 cars still in existance.
