Tucker's In Strange Places

[Phantomrig]

Recently my brother purchased the movie "Cry Baby", not really my kind of movie, to me its sort of a cheap rip off of both 'The West Side Story" and "Grease" but to each is own right. While checking out the cover I knowiticed a framiliar looking car, at first I thought to my self "what kind of car is that, Im sure I know what it is". then I realized it was a Tucker with a custom paint job. I doubt it is a real car, probably just a photoshop or a model but who knows. does anybodyknow if it is a real Tucker in the pic or not.



Please feel free to post any other Tucker's that you have found in strange places.

Somebody caught that a couple of years ago: http://www.tuckerclub.org/bbs3/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=894&p=3455

Though I'm confident that an actual Tucker didn't make an appearance in the movie. If I ever extra in another John Waters film, I'll have to find out who to send inquiries to. He must have close ties to the owner of the Senator theater in Baltimore (which was the opening setting for the film I extra-ed in, "Cecil B. Demented"), for whom "Tucker: The Man and His Dream" was a film favorite.

Somewhere is a book about auto restoration. I own the book and cannot seem to lay a finger on it. There is an interior shot of a Tucker. If I could ever find it, I would scan and post it. Maybe someone could identify which one it is. I probably got the book around 1974 or 75 as a gift.

Has anyone seen it? I seem to recall a shot of the dash area and the steering wheel.
