Plancor 792 and Richard

[plancor 792]

Instead of trying to answer different topics with reference to me I wish to give you the following information.
I would not believe a word that Reinert says. I have known him for years. He acquired 1043 from George Spiegel under terms less than honorable. It is said he also acquired sheet metal parts from the warehouse storage of the former owner of 1006, Richard Guzowski. I would suggest that someone contact Mr. Stan Gilland in Wellington, Ks. to determine what was at Ezra Schlip's and possibly Dewey Bloomquist places when he visited there. I know Stan had body 1055 and he also had a frame. I do not recall if this frame was from Body 1055 or if it was a different one. Between 1974 and 1975 a tree fell on that body as it sat outside Stan's shop and put a large dent in the roof. Mr. Gilland had Dave Cammack's Tucker's 1022 & 1026 at his business in Wellington to restore. For an unknown reason he stopped restoration on 1022 and eventually Dave picked it up and brought it to me. He also noted that 1026 was sitting in a field behind the business so shortly there after he also picked it up and deliverd it to me. Since that time I have had no contact with Stan. He did not reply to letters I sent him. I know that Reinert got a truck load of Tucker parts from Wayne McKinley who at one time owned Tucker 1036. Reinert told me this and ask if I would want to help him sort through the items so he could tell what he had. I did not. This so called convertible is a Reinert creation from beginning to the point where he was able to sell it off. While I look forward to seeing it should it make it to Amelia Island next spring I will never believe that it was started by Tucker Corporation as a secret project and they will never be able to prove it was.
The body of the Tucker is welded to the frame and must be cut off to remove it. In conversations I had with Nick Jenin he told me that all of the Tuckers he had were repainted and reupholstered. He also said most of the data plates were cut off and had been put back on with screws. Not all were returned to the original vehicle. When Nick got Tucker 1046 it was an original Tucker with the engiine in the rear. He used an Oldsmobile engine and mounted it in the front of the car for his daughter to drive. Later it was purchased by John Janecek who redid the vehicle using a 1964 Mercury engine, chassis and drive train. No idea as to what happened to that frame.
It is impossible for me to go back and dig out information that I may have had years ago. First, I am going on 80 years old and the old memory is not what it once was. Most of my Tucker material is in a climate controlled storage facility some distance from my residence. Due to medical problems I cannot go down there and spend hours searching through files. I have a spouse who has Alzheimer's, she also has heart disease and is a diabetic so most of my time is taken up caring for her. Then too I also have a few problems.

Thank you, sir. I know you have posted all this before as I have read through most of your posts going way back. Thank you for taking the time to summarize and restate this information. Please feel free to set the rest of us straight when we get off base whenever you have the time. From what I have read you are the authority. Nothing but respect.

Plancor 792,
You are a quality gentleman, Thank You for coming forth.
We really are sorry for how hard we questioned the topic areas, we know, as you posted, it was upsetting.

We just had to do our homework here and everywhere to get to the bottom of the story on #57.

Even though the Saga is not complete, it is getting there.
We shall see if a new post requesting explanation to Tin Goose, actually brings any type of a logical, reasonable or documented explanation !!!!
Rhetoric may come out, we shall see tomorrow.

Do so hope, that you and your wife are doing the best one can possibly expect, I admire a man that sticks to his marriage obligations, you must dearly love your wife and it must be very difficult !!!!!
Thank you again Sir,
John

Hi, I have many more things I have found between all this cars in my studies and you would be surprised on the information I have found related to all this about 1957. This 1057 convertible was made to hide the real deal and make people believe the car with the big back window is long gone. Many parts were mixed in lots taking a few parts here and there for project unknown. This way people would not know about this secret project. Car 1027 could have been restored but some parts were needed for project unknown and they mixed parts and made it into a convertible which was part of the game of hiding the real car. If you see all the cars that were with this same owner and go thrue every single bolt, nut, panel you will see how things change and go away over time. There is also a photo from one of this cars that had a diferent looking back fender hiden behind other parts. Betweel all the cars and 1057 body I believe was in between the car collection, 1057 was always kept hidden till this day and all the other cars lost enough parts to complete one more body which could be the original 1057. Also in every car sold from this collection there have been clues to follow on front of your eyes but everyone to blind to see them, like they have been playing some kind of game with us. For example the 1027/1052/1018 lot had a clue of who made the convertible and where it was made from. Then also this 1052/1027/1018 lot have another very clear clue that is very easy to see since they even painted what they want us to see. All the parts that are painted are one car and the add ons were not painted! It is the 1052 car that was once white and had white wall wheels when bound but now it is bluck! Ever wondered why there is no roof?? And also one more clue that take you to the next car and the next to the real 1057 big window car which I have not been able to finish solving due to not having photos needed of them. One thing is that 1057 is out there.
Tuckerly, Tucker

Richard,

I hope you're still looking over this board. I have this photo. It's inscribed "Chrissie Tremulis with Betty Jones". Probably taken in October 1956 at the first ACD Reunion that was held in Auburn, Indiana. Is this your Betty and were you there with Alex? If so, I'd love to hear about it!

All my best to you both...

Sorry to say I have never been to an ACD Reunion so that is not my wife Betty.
Thanks for all the kind words you all have posted on this web site. Sometimes I go overboard in some of my comments. It is only meant to bring attention to that specific subject.
Best To All,
Richard

Richard- Overboard? I don't think you have ever gone overboard in your comments at all. You just tell it like it is, without B.S.. The information and comments are not only a treat, but a very valuable asset the the Tucker community. I know I am not the only one who agrees, when I say you know more about the facts, fiction and myths than any other person connected with TACA and this great forum we have here. I admire your dedication to your wonderful spouse, I know it's tough. Hang in there. I'd bet money, if you were to speak about all you know regarding the Tucker, you could hear a mouse fart, since we would all be hanging on your every word! Kudos to you and thanks for all you have done. I look forward to reading your informative posts, when you have time to do so! Until next......Ladies and Gentleman...Heeeeeeeeeeeere's Richard!
