Re: my non-Porsche picture of the day
Joe Ida couldnt stomach the idea of altering one of the 47 remaining cars, so they decided they would build an
exact replica. Luckily, the Idas had kept in touch with the Tucker family over the years, and after discussing the
project, they were able to borrow the original Tucker blueprints from John Tucker Jr.
Armed with those blueprints, permission from Chick DeLorenzo to use his original Tucker No. 51 for measuring,
and a 11/424-scale Franklin Mint model, the Idas set out on a near-two-year project to re-create the Tucker body
in fiberglass. The first Tucker produced from this mold was built to look as stock as possible, but with a modern
chassis and drivetrain, and was given to Joe Ida. Though he did get to see his car and he loved it, Joe died before
he could slide behind the wheel.

George Lucas's film company owns a Tucker car no. 1009
All 51 Tuckers + the Tin Goose the original Tucker prototype still exist amazing!!The Tucker Torpedo was an advanced automobile conceived by Preston Tucker and briefly produced in Chicago, Illinois in 1948. Only 51 examples were made before the company folded on March 3, 1949, amid allegations of fraud.

My Dad spannered in a Saab dealership back in the day and I can remember going out in a V4 96 (not rallied-up though).
