Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

The Tucker Tin Goose prototype and show car, authenticated by various Tucker gurus as having the correct original 335 cu.in. engine and smaller wheels. Cosmetic restoration showing some chips. Chassis looks rough.

Market commentary

This wasnt the only Goose in Auburn as EAA had their Ford Tri motor flying hops out of DeKalb airport. A special Tucker, reasonably bought for its history and claimed authenticity. Thats Richie Clyne helping Dean on the auction podium for this car.
