Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Claimed to the second production Tucker. Awful paint, bad chrome. Good interior. Shows 17,407 miles. Also shows the hard life of a museum car: no miles, no attention.

Market commentary

Racers claim second is the first loser and having the second Tucker is about the same thing. They show up rarely, but there are enough Tuckers around, and the movie hype is over, to make one in this condition worth about $100K, except to this buyer.
