Oh, and of course 1057


Not sure how recently this driving took place, but Pat Swigart told us last month that she once drove 1013 into town at distance of about 3 miles. My husband asked her how she could legally drive it (not registered, etc.). She gave him a "look" and said something funny to the effect of "who was going to stop me?" Again, this could have been years ago -- I was too distracted by the Tuckers to ask when. Just throwing it out there.


I remember she drove 1013 back in 2001 I think at one of the conventions. So yeah, I guess it makes the list.

Yep.

I believe Deb Hull's car is still a driver, #1019

#1020 was restored by John Lemmo a while back. Didn't Jerry Moore have it out? Is it not running anymore?

I spoke with Bill Miller just last week and they were driving (no trailer) #1025 to a show in Kentucky.

#1026 unwent a full restoration in 1995. I know Dave does not drive it and it requires shutting it off to shift
from forward to reverse but I understood it could be driven.

#1036 was at the 2009 Palm Springs Concours d'Elegance. I thought it was running at that time.

#1037 was in excellent driving condition 20 years ago. Does anyone know if Coppola has had the car out recently?

Most, if not all, of these could be added to the list. None of the cars are daily drivers anymore but it would seem
that half of them could be started with a little effort and taken for a short drive across the lawn at Pebble Beach.

Also #1015 and #1046 will joining the list in the next year



Whats the story on #1015? I live about a mile away from The Stahls Collection. I have been meaning to get over there since I found out they have a Tucker. Its tough to get there between 1 and 4pm on Tuesdays though. Is the car on display or is it off somewhere getting worked on? The car is not on their website.
