Vanderbilt Cup Races

Sean and Mike Tucker have posted this "short" YouTube filmed last Monday.

Mike Tucker:  Considered by us to be the highest quality and most accurate Tucker restoration, this is Howard and Roz Kroplick’s Tucker 1044. Tucker production officially ended at car 1042 when the factory closed in late October 1948. However, the final eight cars were assembled by volunteer employees starting with 1043 & 1044 on November 4th, 1948.

1044 features a green broadcloth interior, the rarest of the Tucker interior colors. We believe 6-8 cars featured green broadcloth with some evidence that two were changed to beige during factory refurbishments. However, we are still working to definitively confirm that fact.

This video was taken at Ida Automotive in New Jersey, our long-time partners in keeping the Tucker story alive and well!  

Enjoy,

Howard Kroplick
