Muntz Connection to Tucker?

Postby CDB » Mon Feb 21, 2011 4:41 pm

A friend of mine just sent me three pictures of a Tucker from the web with the claim that it was for sale on a used car parking lot in 1952 in Los Angelos. Further the lot at the time was owned by Earl "Madman" Muntz, creator of the Muntz sport's car of the 50s. Did Earl own a Tucker, and if so what number Tucker, and where is it now? Charles D.

Charles,

Yes, Earl Madman Muntz owned a Tucker. It is now in a private collection.

Thanks Mike. To me the Muntz and the Tucker had alot in common. They were both practically one man shows trying to buck the existing establishment. I respect them both. Charles
