Designer: Alex Tremulis
Chassis Num: 1015
 
This is the 15th of the 51 Tuckers that were eventually built. Since it is one of the earliest Tuckers, it features a Cord pre-select transmission, which was installed in the early Tuckers.

Like all Tuckers, it features an air-cooled, horizontally-opposed six-cylinder motor that displaced 334.1 cubic-inches and developed 155 horsepower.

This car was formerly owned by a prominent automotive museum before being acquired by the current owner. A complete restoration was recently completed. The car is painted in its original color, Moss Green.

This is one of the Tuckers that appeared in the 1988 motion picture Tucker : The Man and His Dream.
