Check Out Every Detail of This $3 Million Barn-Find Tucker With 7800 Miles
Recently, our columnist Steve Lehto brought you the story of Tucker #1044, a late-production example of the Tucker 48 that sat untouched in an Ohio barn for decades, showing only 7877 miles on the odometer.
As far as Tuckers go, this is the ultimate barn find. Preston Tucker's company only built 51 examples of the revolutionary design before he was forced to shut it all down. Historians know the whereabouts of 47 of those cars today, making every example that survives a nearly priceless classic.
Lehto, whose book Preston Tucker and His Battle to Build the Car of Tomorrow is available on Amazon, didn't just document the story of Tucker #1044-he got to see it in person at this past weekend's Troy Traffic Jam car show in Troy, Michigan.
Watch as Lehto and car owner Mark Lieberman examine every little detail of Tucker #1044. It gets even better toward the end, when John Tucker Jr., grandson of Preston Tucker, joins them to appreciate this long-lost example of American ingenuity.
We guarantee you'll learn something you never knew about Tucker.
