Just heard that David "Whitey" Lares has passed away. Whitey was the long time former owner of Tucker #1011. He bought the car from Bill Lund in 1959 and had it until he sold it to Rick Nash in June of 1987. My condolences to the Lares Family.
He operated Whitey's Auto Parts, at 13517 NE Hwy 65 in Blaine MN. for many years. His given name was David but everyone called him Whitey. Whitey's was the type of place where you could go to drool over the great collection of old classic cars he had including a Tucker. His family went on to start the Lares Corporation which makes power steering gears and pumps for classic cars.
David L. "Whitey" Lares was 88 and still lived in Ham Lake, MN. A celebration of David's life will be held Saturday, February 5, 2011 at KOZLAK-RADULOVICH BLAINE CHAPEL (107th Ave. NE & Hwy. 65) from 2-4 PM. In lieu of flowers, donations preferred to "The Special Ops Warrior Fund". www.kozlakradulovich.com "A Celebration of Life" 763-783-1100
