More ties than in church Sunday....

technically from the standpoint of ripped off design, features and such, I am not at all upset that the company went under....continuing the same fraud and scam today on the so called unfinished cars being added to the register...another bogus claim and anyone who has the an original counted car is being devalued with the additions....this is not right for the receivers to make money and debase the true cars.

the spacious interior of a Tucker

The steering wheel must be one of the fifty Lincoln steering wheels that Tucker bought from Ford.  

 

I was told some seventy years ago that the spaciousness was a safety feature.  In case of an accident, the front-seat passenger could duck down there.  (That was before seat belts.)

Unofficially, they called it the crash basement.

Tucker finish line

The Drug Enforcement Administration's museum in their headquarters in Arlington, VA used to have a Tucker on display.  It had been bought with drug profits (it was the en-vogue antique car to have back then) and was ultimately seized when DEA wrapped the case up.  I saw it there in '94, but I vaguely recall that since then they have gotten rid of it, donated to the Smithsonian, I think.

I recently watched a video on YouTube where they were interviewing the former owner of that seized Tucker
