Tucker 1044 Receiving its 2018 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance Award
Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance has released its official photo of Tucker 1044 receiving its Second in Class Award, only behind Tucker 1009 owned by filmmaker George Lucas.
The margin in judging points between these two Tuckers was reportedly the smallest in Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance history.
The photo was forwarded by Kevin Leavesley, editor of Tucker Times. It was taken by Kimball Studios, courtesy of Pebble Beach d'Elegance.
Sean Tucker can be seen standing on the far right in the above photo filming this video:
Enjoy,

Congratulations Howard, I watched the entire 3 and a half hour broadcast of the show in the hopes of seeing you receive an award unfortunately they didn’t broadcast it. They did however show a glimpse of you and your team in the first few minutes of the broadcast driving the car. Anyway, congratulations! Pebble Beach had to have been an amazing experience. I can’t wait to see the car back home on Long Island.

Congratulations on your win at Pebble Beach. To do that well on a car put together under a time crunch is remarkable. The restorers have to be great craftsman. It took me 9 years ( working mostly afternoons) to complete our Packard, so you can see why I’m impressed.
