Tucker Sighting?

Today, July 25, 2014, I was at the Volo Auto Museum in the tiny town of Volo, Illinois, and as I came out of one of the buildings, I saw the rear of a Tucker as it was being pushed into an enclosed trailer. I am a Tucker enthusiast so I know I saw a Tucker and not some other car that I am mistaking for one. I rushed over to see what I could see, and something about the car just didn't look right. It was green in color, with a bashed-in left rear fender, and some of the windows were broken out. I'm wondering if maybe it was one of the mock-ups made for the movie, or maybe the customized Studebaker that was used for the crash scene. Does anyone have any information?

Wouldn't it have been easier to just ask someone there? Obviously it took someone to move the car. You've got me curious about this incident as well since all the original cars are supposed to be accounted for.

Was this it??

As of a year ago, the Studebaker used in the film was in the Tallahassee Fl. museum along with the Tucker. Possibly it has been moved since then.

I only saw the rear half of the car as it disappeared into the trailer, but the left rear fender was severely dented with much paint scraped off. I don't see that damage on your photo of the Stude-Tucker, but I suppose its possible more damage has occurred for whatever reason.

Here's a closer image of the same car, does this match the damage you saw? You can just barely make out these scrapes in the other photo just not very well with all the reflections and glare.

Here is another green one..

I am also curious, why did you not just ask ? Wayne
