Dear Joe,
Have you seen this email before? It’s been mailed to me about three times in the past year. Maybe it just strikes a chord with my friends but I thought you might be interested too.
Love,
Dad
We were driving back from Las Vegas when we came upon a mint-condition ’48 Tucker, having tire problems. The tire was not flat, but starting to come apart. We followed him to an abandoned gas station in Yermo, Ca. to get out of the desert sun, and helped him change the tire.
During the process I got some great photos of a great car. I don’t remember the owner’s name, but he and his wife had purchased the car brand new in 1948, and were returning from a Tucker rally in Las Vegas. Most of the Tuckers had been trucked or trailered into the rally, but they had driven this one from San Francisco.
See more pictures of the 1948 Tucker.
