About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Indifferent old paint and upholstery for its appearance in “Tucker: The Man and His Dream”. Sound interior. Chipped edges and original underbody. Three owners from new and preserved as an artifact with only one movie-car standard repaint.

Market commentary

One of only four in Black, known history from new and largely preserved despite the crappy old movie repaint. The mystique continues for Tuckers although most onlookers today won’t remember the movie let alone the Tucker saga. Tucker is an American visionary story from before venture capital’s billions made bucking the establishment and conventional wisdom a possibility. Elon Musk should own and drive a Tucker, and at prices like this he is one of few people who can afford to.
