jeff_a Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Here's a crazy scenario for you. GM buys the Tucker name for a million; starts a small production run of faithfully-recreated Tuckers plus a few of these "what-if" convertibles, then pretty soon they're selling more of the things than Preston Tucker ever dreamed. Win-win. Of course, that kind of blows that whole thing about Tucker-versus-the-Big-Three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alsancle Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 It is a good point about the one piece of body that is missing is the unique conv piece that goes between the doors and rear quarters. With something like this you really need far reaching history or be default people will question what you are up to. Does he mention how long the guy that he bought it from owned it?

jeff_a Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 I was thinking more along the lines of them using the correct engine. No need to downgrade to modern engines! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you thinking that they would reproduce the Tucker powerplant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCHinson Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Tucker Fan 48, Welcome to the AACA Discussion Forum. Thanks for the link. That was interesting reading. I think I will have to go back and re-read it again to follow it all. That was way too much information to digest in a single reading. Thanks again!
