1948 Tucker 48 Convertible

This is the only Tucker Convertible in existence. It has zero original miles, zero owners, never titled, correctly Cord sourced transmission and a unique Tucker frame.

The work done to this car has been more of a completion project rather than a restoration project. The engine, transmission, frame, suspension, breaks, and many other components/parts are as new with zero original miles. Tuckers were originally outfitted with poorly designed Torsilastic (rubber bonded to metal) suspension. Due to this, many Tuckers are now outfitted with other suspension systems.
