Comments
It was a thoroughly fabulous day. The talk was informative and enjoyable. Despite all I’ve read in several books, I learned even more today. We’ll have to do it again…..soon. 😉
Roger R: Thank you Howard Kroplick, Rob Ida, John Jr, Mike Tucker & Sean Tucker, Mark Lieberman, and Fred Simeone for this experience I will never forget.
Richard T:
Thank you Howard. Great event.
Jan Hyde:
Great day at one of my favorite places!
Wonderful photos and a video have been added from Schen Photography.
1044 looks fabulous in the video. I haven’t seen her in person yet but likely a superb restore. In the video, I can’t find any faults anywhere, amazing all the lines meet perfectly. Excellent work by all and the dedication to get this accomplished. Congrats Howard and to all involved.
Howard, I now know more about this Mark Lieberman and his Nostalgic Motoring Ltd. Impressive! I understand now why he’s the one who try to explain my question about why the Air Cooled Franklin engine was converted to a water cooled engine.
MARK LIEBERMAN REALLY KNOWS ABOUT THE TUCKERS!!

Mark, agree!
Also Mark Lieberman clarified for me, outside during the demo, showed him a photo of this blue Tucker convertible ‘secret? prototype’ that some of you may have known about, “FAKE-BOUGHT STUFF FROM US”!! looked up another day, information about this, yes it’s a fabrication of real recondition parts and mostly remanufactured parts done at later date? A FAKE!!
