In recently going back over an old club Tucker Topics, in 1983, I came across the mention of an ad in Hemmings "about the 4 ft. Tucker Model Promo at $2,000." I did not find a subsequent mention of it. In recently reading letters that Richard Jones shared with me from Bill Hamlin to him, I found that Bill Hamlin mentioned in 1974 that he had expected to get "the large Tucker model shown in the Indy Star article from the estate of Charlie Pearson" but he never got (albeit he had sent $20 to cover shipping). Assuming this is the same model, apparently the car went from Pearson's estate to someone else. Later, the Hemmings ad. With the growing incredible bids on eBay right now for Tucker collectibles, the $2,000 now seems like a really good deal. Anyone know where the model is today?

Wish I knew myself, assuming the dimensions are accurate that's just under 1/4 scale!
