Congrats…
A terrific job.
Now I know where to take that ‘60 Lincoln Continental Limousine by Hess & Eisenhardt, if I ever get my hands on one worth restoring.
In any event, this has to be a “double” congrats—first, the ‘37 Chrysler and now the ‘48 Tucker, each done to perfection.

I just wanted to say Thank You from the Tucker fans across the United States for supporting this project that is now heading west. The combination of the Ida’s and Tucker’s talents are simply amazing, the partnership is pretty special in the Tucker world. We are sure there are many other talented folks that have been involved too, as the length of time of this restoration has been rather short. Howard you chose a great group, we are grateful for your support of the Tucker cause. Enjoy Pebble Beach.
