Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

The tenth Tucker, believed to be the one that was clocked at 130+mph at Bonneville. Repainted by Joe Bailon for Al Slonaker and displayed at the 1953 National Roadster Show. Locked away in 1956 by Don Wright and not seen again until it was brought out for the auction, dull, dirty and deteriorated but complete even with the hubcaps it had in Oakland in 1953. 9,819 miles but many years of neglect from new. Not running but sound and complete..

Market commentary

The headline car of the auction, even if it wasnt the most expensive. Now the question is what to do with it.
