I enjoy reading of the Tucker’s progress and informative articles and brochures. Thank you for sharing your experience each week. You make it as if I were part of the process. Tucker has always struck me as a vehicle that would have revolutionized the car industry and put it self 40 to 50 years ahead of the competition. Again keep up the good work and God Bless.

Great find, Howard. “Oversized”? Bet it had about the same interior dimensions as the Hudson. Sam, III
