I vote for and place in the running the Tex-Ark Antique Auto Museum dba Four States Auto Museum. It is located in Texarkana, Arkansas, at 217 Laurel Street. We are centrally located in the country. We really have two Texarkanas (we are Twice as nice) located back to back in Texas and Arkansas. We are close to two other states, namely Louisiana and Oklahoma. I am the activity director for the museum and hereby formally extend the invitation to the Tucker Club of America for our 2011 convention. In the past we have had two Motorama cars on display at the museum (the 1956 Eldorado Brougham Cadillac Town Car and the 1954 Buick Landau). We also have had on display the 1962 White House little Bubble Top Lincoln used by 3 former First Ladies. We are Tucker starved in this part of the country having missed out on getting #1045 on display here when its former owner John O'Quinn was killed last year in an automobile accident in Houston. Texarkana, Texas, is the hometown of Ross Perot whose original home is located here and our historic theater is named after Perot who help restore it. We had on display his 1929 Dodge bought by him, because his father had a 29 Dodge while Ross grew up here.Thirty miles away from here is Hope, Arkansas, birthplace of President Clinton and Mike Huckabee. Mike Huckabee was my pastor for 5 and 1/2 years at a church near the museum. To see Texarkana flooded with Tuckers would be a dream come true! Charles-come on and let Tucker do Texarkana! The nearest Tucker dealership would have been in Little Rock, Arkansas, 120 miles away. What do you say?
