Tucker #1044 Attends the Spring 2024 Tobay Beach Car Show

On Sunday, April 28th, Tucker 1044 made a big splash at the Spring 2024 Tobay Beach car show!

Tucker 1044 is always a big hit at car shows and concours events and never fails to attract large crowds wherever it goes!

Huge thanks to Austin Azzaretto for inviting Tucker 1044 to this extraordinary Town of Oyster Bay event.

The Town of Oyster Bay Tobay Beach Car Show is a huge, twice-a-year event in the Spring and Fall that never fails to attract a few thousand of the most beautiful automobiles from across Long Island. It's the largest car show as evident from the long lines getting in and leaving the event. The warm, Spring Sunday, April 28th was no exception.

We are always honored when one of the event organizers, Austin Azzaretto, invites one of the cars from the Waterfront garage to attend. For the second time, Tucker 1044 was there to the delight of the crowd.

HUNDREDS of cars, so let's have a peek!

Tucker 1044

The morning started with a small group, but by the start of the show at 11am, the crowd was in the thousands.

George Lucas has never gotten over selling his precious Tucker #1003 back in June of 2005, so he sent one of his goons to try and 'force' Tucker 1044's team to hand over the keys.

*Cue the Imperial March theme

Thankfully, The Force was strong with Tucker #1044 and the team was able to thwart any aggression by the man in black with asthma and no deal was made.

He we are after our long, arduous light saber battle. Good thing I had the high ground.

(And don't worry about ol' George, he still owns Tucker #1009 as well)

NYC-urbansketcher, drawing, inking and painting artist Suzala quietly sat down and started painting a watercolor of #1044

YouTube Channel host George Bleso of RodderTV was on hand to extensively film '44 for an upcoming video on his channel.

Look for it to be posted when it goes live soon.

Organizer and Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino with Councilman Tom P. Hand and Councilman Steve Labriola get a personal tour of 1044 during the show.
