Absolutely beautiful. We have Tucker 1035 in Brazil. The first Tucker to leave the USA and sent to a dealer. Hope to see you guys one day. Thank you.

No wonder the” Big Three” wanted to destroy Tucker cars,! “They Couldn’t compete”! Preston Tucker, had “ Vision” ! And they were “ embarrassed !!! and scared Thank you for your supreme efforts👍

@@prestontuckersspeedshop1948 I grew up and still am a Packard (especially 20's to 30's) fan but I do find Tucker's amazing! And 44 is great looking!

Never knew about the seats being modular, neat......I really wish they could have made more of these back when new. Such an interesting car, it would be nice if the average antique car enthusiast could have a better chance at owning one.

But the average multi-millionaire antique car enthusiast CAN own one, as long as he's patient. These cars don't come on the market every day... or every year, for that matter. Oh, you didn't mean a MULTI-MILLIONAIRE antique car enthusiastbut just an average non-multi-millionaire antique car enthusiast like you and me? That's OK, my name isn't Jay Leno either. Question: does Jay have a Tucker? And if not, why not?

Wowza! What a Beauty! Bucket list dream to own one of these historic masterpieces ... 💖 ^v^

My dad always talked about Tucker cars and how advanced they were for the time. I never saw one until the movie came out. He would have loved your channel. They look so cool just sitting still.

What a stunning restoration. The color works beautifully with the Tucker’s design. Great work! I’d love to know more about the restoration.

Beautiful and excellently engineered.

WHAT A JOB!

Your Grandfather would be very proud of his two grandsons carry on a very good interest in his legacy The Tucker car also like the colour of this fully restored Tucker

Beautiful Color.

Beautiful car. Since I was a kid, I was fascinated with rear end. That fastback look, harmonica grille and triple exhausts is so eye catching. The compact dash is actually pretty in 1940's art-deco style. As a side note, the car is much prettier with whitewalls but there's an appeal with the blackwalls. Many Pebble Beach cars have them because it focuses more attention on the body.

That color is epic.

That green is awesome.

It's a beautiful automobile. The view from the back is stunning. I'm looking forward to more videos!

Man I tell you! That green just looks amazingly beautiful!👌🥰👉♥️I bet your great gandfather is proud and smiling at you guy’s from heaven! What an amazing car that Tucker is! Well all of them! Well done!👌😎👍

Hello Mike and Sean, I was surprised to hear the idea of the front passenger compartment as a safety feature described as "crazy" and treated like it was naive and laughably hokey as well as an assessment that it really wouldn't offer much if any protection in a collision . Why would this person say such a disparaging comment , since it was obviously his opinion . Especially considering that the introduction of seat belts , which caused so much criticism and were belittled , when they were truly innovative as well as the functioning pop-out windows . I think these details showed a mind set that was , for the time , very conscientious and innovative in terms of safety . Also the padded dash and surrounding pads on the doors additionally were an innovative idea. Also , when describing the interior features , why was there hardly any camera time in close up detail , instead of just a wordy description ? The lack of close-up camera shots was very noticeably lacking. When the wheelbase comment was made , why wasn't there at least a picture of another , shorter wheel based model ? I was stunned by these things . And by the comments of the speaker . Please consider these points I've made because your view count suffers and will continue to as a result.

just beautiful work of rolling art Amen

Excellent job on the restoration. Such a gorgeous classic!

I like to watch moments with dark Tucker in the movie sin city from time to time, I even looked for information about him, handsome!

So cool! Love these cars and got to be around 1 as High School kid. Just didn’t know about the cars and how Awesome they are. The man that had the can was getting around to restoring it. It was a drivable survivor. Didn’t drive it but started listening to the owner about Mr Tucker and the other things he did….smart guy!!! When the movie came out, the owner here along with his wife got to be extras due to loaning several period correct cars plus the Tucker itself.

There's one similar to this one at Stahl's Car Museum in Chesterfield Township, Michigan.

Exquisite best describes this fantastic machine. Whitewalls may not be authentic but look so much better. More details most of us never knew about. Thanks for sharing and yes, Rob Ida and his team are miracle workers. P.S. that turntable is the bomb!!

Beautifully restored, thanks for sharing. One interesting feature was the spare tyre. Despite having no Jack provided I would like to know how you removed the spare without giving yourself a Hernia?

Very good guys. You always bring something new about the Tucker car.

Great video! Thank you

stunning car an absolute beauty

That green color was kind of lost to me until you brought in a close-up and then the green really popped. The color in the close-up view was just stunningly beautiful. Did this car get the modern updated torsion rubber installed? Most Tucker's became undrivable due to the rubber suspension deteriorating.

Hi Guys,,Another awesome video,,Beauitful car,,Keep Them coming,,Thanks

The first Tucker I ever seen in person is at The Museum of American Speed in Lincoln Nebraska.

What a stunning color. Understanding the technological changes in automotive finishes, how close do you believe that Is to the original color when new?

Dangerously close…we spent an enormous amount of time digitally matching an original sample, and Rob worked with one of his contacts to have the metal flake made from Mica vs. modern materials. It is probably a bit more shiny from all the sanding to get it flat! Thanks for watching.

The car looks wildly different with black wall tires. The Tucker simply must be displayed with white walls, put the black walls on if it'll help with the sale price when that day comes.

Thanks for uploading! Why does the interior appear tan when it's mentioned as green? Also, in the earlier pics of the car, it looks brown. I understand how that could appear that way sometimes in photos, with lighting etc. Just curious.

Is there video of the drive mentioned at the end?

I have a pretty small 3" oval brass tag that says Tucker Corporation with 3 numbers on it. I was told it was either a brass tag that was on a parts drawer or it was put on a piece of machinery at the factor. Would you happen to have any insight into what this was for. Thanks

Check out a 1977 Monte Carlo, side view/hood. Tell me they didn't take cues from the Tucker.

Seats look tanish or grey?
