Default Re: Got A Spare $5 Mil???

From the seller:

Hello, yes, this is the prototype convertible Tucker. We have a letter from a verified Tucker Corporation accountant that reads:

Dear Allan (previous owner), Long time no see. I hope your address hasn't changed and this gets to you okay. Did you ever get the Tucker convertible finished? I would like to drive over and see it sometime. Give me a ring at 414-275-XXXX and tell me when it will be convenient to get together and bring each other up to date.

Sincerely, Mel Koeppen


We have paycheck stubs, tax withholding statements, and a picture of Mel Koeppen (the accountant mentioned above) in a newspaper from 1948 that further verifies he was an employee. "The Indomitable Tin Goose" (page 90 softback version)verifies that #57 was in Tucker Corporation experimental department when the plant closed. #57 was mentioned in a "Tucker Topics", the Tucker Automobile Club of America's newsletter in 1994 as being a convertible.

The person we bought the car from interviewed Tucker Corporation employees who said that they knew that the project existed when the plant closed. He is willing to sign sworn affidavits that outline his interviews.
