Not Seen in 50 Years. . .

One missing Tucker resurfaces.

It’s the Tucker 48 sedan bearing serial number 1010 that hasn’t been seen in a half-century, which it apparently spent concealed in a private barn in the Pacific Northwest. According to Gooding, this Tucker has just 10,000 original miles, some of them rung up in record runs on the Bonneville Salt Flats, and wears its factory Waltz Blue finish.

(That's not the factory paint job, BTW.)

Jesus.

There's another one.

This find just drove down the value of the other existing 48(?) by about $20,000 each.

You gonna put in a bid Tuckerfan?

The Newport looks like such a useless car. Large and small separate compartments. What is under that huge hood?

Does the Tucker have the largest cult following of any car? I know Mustangs & Corvettes have huge followings but there were huge numbers of these cars made.

What about the Dymaxion car? I hear about it a lot more than I hear about Tuckers.

I don't know what's under the hood, but I do know that Alex Tremulis, who designed the Tucker also helped design the Newport!

Nah, there's only a few thousand (at most) club members. I'm sure DeLorean and Ferrari have far larger members in their clubs as a ratio compared to the number of cars built to fan club members.

Speaking of Dymaxions. . .
