I love the Tucker sedan, but this convertible gorgeous!! Hands down one of the best looking cars of all time. I'm so happy they finished this one off factory project.
The story is Preston Tucker wanted to give is wife a convertible for her birthday. She had been looking at Lincoln Convertibles. He didn't think that would look good for his business With his wife driving around in a Lincoln. So he had the factory start on one. They took a sedan as they didn't yet make a convertible and had had them start on it. They, got a Lincoln chassis from Ford as it would need a reinforced convertible frame. Got the body to fit the frame. bolted it down and removed the roof. Got a Convertible top from Cord. These company's all supplied parts to Tucker. The car wasn't finished as Tucker was shut out from his factory from the law suit. The car was found against a wall inside the factory, unfinished and sold during the bankruptcy sale. It laid around for years unfinished and was sold numerous times, as no one quite knew what to do with it. Tucker left no guides on how it was to be finished. There was an old gentleman (about 80) on a documentary about the Tucker, who said he had worked on the Convertible. He produced paperwork he'd kept all these years, stating that Preston wanted to build a Convertible and this one was it. Sounds plausible to me.
I use the term loosely, of course, more a label of respect from an aspiring gearhead than a descriptor of age. In all seriousness, Mr. Tucker was a bit of a genius, and I have great respect for the man, and the marvelous cars he and the people who worked with him made. When you look at a Tucker, it's like seeing a Buck Rogers spaceship made for the road, totally awesome through and through!
My father made it to 95. He passed in 2004. On his 95th birthday I visited him in the hospital and told him he needed to make it just 5 more years and then he'd be an even 100. He looked up at me and said, "Oh Good Lord No! Have you seen what 100 year old men look like? I don't want to look like that!" Three weeks later he was gone, having passed in his sleep peacefully. True story.
It's always pleasant to see an elderly man reliving an incredible experience... And what and experience!!! If I was the owner of that car, I would have taken your father for a REAL ride, even let him drive it. Regards!!! PS: Tucker kicks so much ass
The engine sounded much more quiet that other Tucker cars I have seen on TH-cam. Fascinating history and the labor of love on this substantial investment to restore this lovely car.
I'm a firm believer that cars are meant to be driven and ANY car that's road worthy should be driven a bit no matter how rare and valuable it might be. That being said a foot and a half of snow is a good reason not to go for a drive, this is a nice weather car!
This is a beautifully unique and stylish vehicle for the time.....and even during this time on history there were several companies that produced rear engine/ rear wheel drive.
It does me good to see that car enthusiasts can also have the time for real world humanity.This life has many items that may be called priceless but the greatest of these are without a doubt our families.
@Rebecca Bradley how do you know what Tucker wanted to build or didn't want to build? He was a car manufacturer so of course he thought about building different models.
Well some pages says that tucker planned on building a convertible but others says he didn't i guess tucker is the only one who knows. PS: I have been in school for 13 years so you don't need to tell me to stay in school.
Actually it was moved back and forth several times for the camera. It might have been 100 feet altogether. The foot and a half of snow outside put a damper on things. Gramps enjoyed the ride and still talks about it.
Thank you, Chuck! Another great one! As I said before, this kind of stuff makes your work the best gearhead videos on the web. May you have a great New Year! Rich PS - Those guys did a hell of a restoration job; superlative craftsmanship.
I'm a member of the Delorean Club Of Fl and I can say this was the "grandfather" of the DMC-12 Great car. Intresting story. I have never seen a Tucker in, but I would like too.
Once Tucker saw a Tatra it inspired him to make a car based on it but with a different body shape. The Tatra had 3 headlights and a rear air cooled magnesium engine which were produced well before the Tucker.
The Tatra and smaller Tatraplan were always air-cooled and provided the inspiration for the original Volkswagen and the Chevrolet Corvair, as well as the Tucker. The Tucker's Franklin 335 cu. in. 6V4-165-B3 engine was originally air-cooled for helicopter use, but was converted to water-cooling for the car. I have a Bellanca Cruise is airplane that has a Franklin 6A4-165-B3 engine that is the airplane version of this same engine.
4.09 'Flat Six' refers to the layout (a la Porsche) , not the valve configuration. Some posters think she's a Flat -HEAD - six. It's an overhead valve hemi.
One more Tucker back on the road, great to see!! Too bad there are still some na sayers out there that say this is not a production Tucker. All I can say is; their just jealous cause it's not in their garage. very cool vid, thanks
This is the same sort of car featured in the movie Tucker's Dream, right? I know the film was a dramatization, but old man Tucker was truly ahead of his time with these babies, and he really did have to fight the big auto makers to produce and sell these, right? Simply amazing!
Is this car one of one? The comment below tells the story. This is the only Tucker convertible I have ever, and I suspect it will stay that way. Fine restoration.
Only convertible Tucker ever made should be worth no less then 15 million but wouldn't be surprised it it brought 100 million or more. I remember this car being on ebay with just the rights to buy the car going for 5 million when it wasn't even painted and still a heap of parts in the corner. Nice job guys. Yes this is the only convertible Tucker ever made and it wasn't even completed by the manufacture after the big 3 shut Tucker down for building to good of a car.
RideswithChuck Playing lots of music. I'll end up doing close to 140 gigs this year. But I'm also building a lot of models. My next project is an original MPC '68 Dodge Coronet. Rare kit!
this is weird i thought tucker was finished in 1948 .. hows this car a 1957 .. its still very a cool car and a part of our history .. this is the only one i ever seen like this .. you guys done a fine job bringing her back . love to seen what she looked like before being restored .
How would this be considered a 'production' Tucker? The owner himself explains that it is completely redone and/or fabricated.,so it is a recreation of what could have been a production Tucker. Even Tucker's granddaughter disputes this car. Still a beauty, though.
@DougCameraMan there were only 51 Tucker completed when the company went under. Numbers 52-56 were incomplete cars, and this was number 57. It was a concept that was started at the factory, but never finished, by the Tucker crew. The rocker panels, rear quarters, bonnet, roof and interior were incomplete on the convertible. The original sedan roof was cut off at the Tucker factory and the doors were also lengthened there.
@RideswithChuck yeah i kind of caught on to that after watching yours .. body number 10 sits in a barn in another video i watched and seen the production plaque i learn something new every time with them as i research it more ..preston tucker seemed to be really smart lot of is ideas he used to make the tucker the big 3 are still using today they knew his car was better and felt threatened by it ..
I saw this car at Keels and Wheels in Texas in the metal stage. At the time this guy insisted it was the only convertable by Tucker. he had paneling covering all the inter-structure so I couldn't see the cuts from removing the roof. But his top well was exposed and I told him it looked like the roof was cut off. Now in the video he says it was cut. Not an original.
🦅🇺🇸🦅 W😎 W what great footage 🎥🎞️🎞️📺 , the major problem with the tuckers was the brakes would constantly go out, , but it's amenities like shatterproof safety glass seat belts and rear mounted helicopter engine, you over look like little problems like you couldn't get the thing to stop 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣‼️
Beautiful car but heat was Preston tucker thinking? This was a hand built car. Must have cost a lot of money to pull off. And money was what was needed to launch his company. For example, there was no money to tool up a production transaxle. The 50 that were built used salvaged, pre-WWII Cord units. The transmission shifter used was called "Pre-Select."
+RideswithChuck Chuck, thanks for the video. Any idea where the car is now? Does Benchmark Classics still have it, or was it sold (and to whom)? I know that it was in an auction and on eBay, but that was some time ago. What was the outcome for this car - what is the latest? Thanks again.
+Glenn Marston I'm pretty sure that Benchmark is gone. I don't know where the car is now or who owns it. Justin Cole is now in Texas selling cars. Being able to just sit in this car is one of my best memories.
i haven't seen any news on it lately but i did see that the first couple times it went up for auction it got pulled, lots of press on it not being original, or fake or fraud they were saying. for me being around restoring classics and antiques for years its pretty common in the industry to fudge a little, sometimes a lot, on a build, if you use original parts and have a frame that was licensed or registered, then its usually ok to build a car from factory parts, or even to make parts from plans. if i remember right when a car is built, like carrol shelbys cobra, the company lists a certain number of vin numbers to the state of manufacture, and then as cars are built and sold a mso is furnished and then car titles, this is what was supposedly done here, they used a vin or chassis number that was listed to build a car, a convertible was never built by tucker. hope this helps, little lengthy but these things usually are hard to explain. lots of history on this car if you look , pretty interesting.
@k5ing so this Tucker is not one of the original 51 or was this a creation from leftover stock parts and other parts from a junked Tucker to make this one? If the Tucker factory never built a convertible then this must have been an altered regular body that had the convertible hardware added somewhere along the way, right? Could it be that this body is the one that crashed and rolled and someone later found it and removed the damaged roof, added some convertible hardware, and sold it?
Did they use one of the documented Tuckers to build this? I read in the comments that they used a Lincoln chassis to mount the body on, but the car has a rear engine and it looked like it has reproduction Torsilastic suspension.
Sadly from 2030 on all combustion cars including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Now they want to slow down all the gas station fuel pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions- and smoke crime.. :-/////
@@RideswithChuck Its just about the chinese orders given to all western politicians....most western politicians are corrupt due to chinese lobbyism and the world power China just wants to sell lithium...it not about the environment at all

PS: Tucker kicks so much ass
the tucker torpedo is one of my all time favorite classic cars.
The engine sounded much more quiet that other Tucker cars I have seen on TH-cam. Fascinating history and the labor of love on this substantial investment to restore this lovely car.
The 1/8 mile on the odometer might have something to do with that. I imagine it's the lowest mile tucker out there. Maybe not though.....
What a wonderfully unique car! You dad's reaction to his short rude was so cool. It was easy to see that he was genuinely excited. :)
Should have took him around the block, I know you don’t want to put miles on it,what absolutely beautiful automobile
The most interesting car I have ever seen in my long life!
I'm a firm believer that cars are meant to be driven and ANY car that's road worthy should be driven a bit no matter how rare and valuable it might be. That being said a foot and a half of snow is a good reason not to go for a drive, this is a nice weather car!
Didn’t know Tucker made any convertible. Just incredible.👍👍👍🥰 Love this car.
Tucker did not build this car.
This is an absolutely beautiful car. A moving work of art!
I totally agree!
I love old cars especially in the 57s that's 1957
1957 was a dramatic year for automobile styling for sure.
that shifter is so awesome.
Priceless now I bet.
This is a beautifully unique and stylish vehicle for the time.....and even during this time on history there were several companies that produced rear engine/ rear wheel drive.
It does me good to see that car enthusiasts can also have the time for real world humanity.This life has many items that may be called priceless but the greatest of these are without a doubt our families.
Chuck, that is *totally* cool, and I'm so glad these folks resurrected a part of automotive history. Doubly glad your dad got to ride in one again!
I didn't know Tucker produced a convertible...very nice...like it better than the 4 door.
@Rebecca Bradley Interesting!?!? What are your credentials to make such a comment?? Just wondering.
@Rebecca Bradley how is it a sham? Tucker started to build a convertible but the factory got shut down before it was finnished.
@Rebecca Bradley how do you know what Tucker wanted to build or didn't want to build? He was a car manufacturer so of course he thought about building different models.
Well some pages says that tucker planned on building a convertible but others says he didn't i guess tucker is the only one who knows.
PS: I have been in school for 13 years so you don't need to tell me to stay in school.
Sounds like someone's really suffering from a bad case of Trump Derangement Syndrome......
So sad. 😢
Actually it was moved back and forth several times for the camera. It might have been 100 feet altogether. The foot and a half of snow outside put a damper on things. Gramps enjoyed the ride and still talks about it.
That really would be an awesome experience. I did enjoy the short ride that I got.

Pay attention to the Tucker Club. You might find out there's a Tucker at a car show near you.
OMG this Convertible is going to sell for an absolute kings ransom! I never new this car existed.
Real fan of tuker, he could have done far more for the auto industry and industry at large, to bad we were so short sighted on him
@DougCameraMan Number 57 is well documented as being the body that was altered for a rear window design experiment.
Only convertible Tucker ever made should be worth no less then 15 million but wouldn't be surprised it it brought 100 million or more.

Now that's an impressive car.
@RideswithChuck No I don't have that information. Oddly enough though, I saw #48 at the Hunnert Car Pileup hot rod show earlier today.
Hey Chuck, love the vid!
Hello Dean! What have you been up to lately?

Oddly enough, that short ride was a minor high point in my life too. lol

Tucker was the Tesla of 1948
Anthony Barnett Yes it sure was!!
You know it, Anthony.
Testla should make a torpedo shaped car
With a 911 engine before the 356
Well, Tucker failed so you better hope the similarities aren't 100%.
It was one of those opportunities in life that one just can't pass up.
That power is unreal . . . that's a lot of torque for a car that size for even today, AND it's FLAT 6 cyl.
@datonz Thank you for that information. Any idea whatever happened to cars 53 - 56, if they were ever completed?
Did not know they built a convertible Tuck...beautiful car. One and only prototype? Since you said "The" convertible.
How would this be considered a 'production' Tucker? The owner himself explains that it is completely redone and/or fabricated.,so it is a recreation of what could have been a production Tucker. Even Tucker's granddaughter disputes this car. Still a beauty, though.
The owner explained in the video that many parts had to be fabricated. There is an accusatory tone in some comments...
Love an update!
I would be more than happy to give an update but I don't have a clue where it is or who owns it.
As of June 29, 2019 it is listed on eBay (again) for over $1,000,000 less than the last time it was listed -- www.ebay.com/itm/223565960739
There was a foot and a half of snow on the ground. We were very happy with what we got. lol

Ok this comment was what....6 years old? This video's from 2009? It may be a little....late to be saying this? Just a thought.
Safety back then was viewed a little differently than it is now. Yes, dive into the crumple zone. That's the ticket!
When i was a kid in 1974 a guy in Troutdale Oregon had 3 tuckers sitting in his field.
Do you know what happened in the interim?
WOW never new a convertible existed!

@cdegavage This is not a 1957, it is body number 57.
I saw this car at Keels and Wheels in Texas in the metal stage. At the time this guy insisted it was the only convertable by Tucker. he had paneling covering all the inter-structure so I couldn't see the cuts from removing the roof. But his top well was exposed and I told him it looked like the roof was cut off. Now in the video he says it was cut. Not an original.
This new transmission technology available on cars like the Veyron and Mc Lauren cars that cost a million dollars.
The transmission selector/clutch shown in this car looks like a direct pull from a Cord.
Simply Beautiful car, they really don't make cars like they used to.
So, I guess they made a two-door specially for the convertible? Which would make this a one-off?
🦅🇺🇸🦅 W😎 W what great footage 🎥🎞️🎞️📺 , the major problem with the tuckers was the brakes would constantly go out, , but it's amenities like shatterproof safety glass seat belts and rear mounted helicopter engine, you over look like little problems like you couldn't get the thing to stop 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣‼️
This car is still for sale I believe.
Wow that's fabulous! Never seen a convertible Tucker before. Is that the only one?
Right you are, This body was a sedan on the day the factory closed.
Man what a beauty!👌🥰👍
I was lucky that the car was close enough that I could drive out to shoot this video.
I think I saw this car for sale on E-Bay not long ago.
How much did it sell for at auction ?
98% complete just missing original hard top,
Beautiful car but heat was Preston tucker thinking? This was a hand built car. Must have cost a lot of money to pull off. And money was what was needed to launch his company. For example, there was no money to tool up a production transaxle. The 50 that were built used salvaged, pre-WWII Cord units. The transmission shifter used was called "Pre-Select."

Anyone know what it sold for? Definitely should be in a museum, maybe Imperial Las Vegas or Harrahs. Maybe a separate Tucker room.

I have observed several videos about the Tucker automobile. Not one has mentioned the location of the spare tire or jack. Just wondering.
I posted a photo on my community page of the spare tire. I'm not sure how to direct you to it.
This convertible was to be built for tuckers wife originally
Did they use one of the documented Tuckers to build this? I read in the comments that they used a Lincoln chassis to mount the body on, but the car has a rear engine and it looked like it has reproduction Torsilastic suspension.

Corvair was actually inspired by the VW Beetle. Tucker was long gone and forgotten by then.

And I've heard it said Porsche designed the engine for GM who then mass produced it with some modifications.
Is this an actual Tucker prototype or a custom modified 4-door Tucker?
