It took a long time but very large and heavy wooden crate recently arrived at my house. Inside is the original rear bumper of the Tin Goose. My research so far has told me the one currently at the Swigart Museum has a bumper that was made from a casting from this one.
It does not have the Tucker name on the middle portion, which I understand came later.
Do any pictures exist of the
Tin Goose from the rear showing the bumper?

I'm not sure when this one was taken. I know there are tons of photos of the car.
Look for a Tucker without suicide doors and that will be the Tin Goose
This one is a current photo
