Notes: Rudy Schroeder won Tucker 1008 in a raffle in 1949. He kept it briefly but had to sell it because his insurance company couldn’t insure the car. It was then sold to Willis Jones and then sold to Les Schaeffer of Steelton, PA. Les sold it to the Imperial Palace, Las Vegas, NV, who sold it to the Driehaus Collection. In 2011, Rudy Schroeder was reunited with the car by Stephen Murphy, Curator of the Driehaus Collection. Rudy and his son Steve drove 1008 and rode to Midway Airport with their luggage in the trunk.
