Don’t Let a Tucker Pass You By!


You can own a rolling symbol of the American dream when this 1948 Tucker 48 goes on the auction block on Friday, August 15, 2014.


This baby is finished in an eye-catching metallic bronze maroon and the broadcloth interior shows only light wear and may be the original material from 1948! The car retains not only a proper Tucker Y-1 transmission—the gearbox that it was meant to have when new—but also the correct, proper late dashboard switchgear and Kaiser-sourced door handles. Only 1,914 miles are recorded.

But what I really like is the third headlight on the Tucker 48 that was dubbed the “Cyclops eye”.

  1. Lovely, but what the hell would you do with it? You can’t drive it unless you’re a sadistic Saudi Prince or Wall Street banker. So for a couple million bucks you get an objet d'art and a crowded living room.

  2. Maybe Jay Leno wants it.
