Videos: Tucker 1044 Returns Home to Roslyn


After being away for its amazing eight-month restoration, Tucker 1044 has returned this week to its Waterfront at Roslyn garage.

Enjoy,

Howard Kroplick

Loading Tucker 1044 at Ida Automotive in Morganville, New Jersey into our trailer retrofitted with a RailRyder system. Very cool!

Rob Ida: Now this is the way to pick up a Tucker. Enclosed carrier with a remote floor. You can tie the car down outside the trailer, then power it all in already tied down. Now you can avoid climbing out of the window and driving the car past the cables and fenders.  Courtesy of Rob Ida.
 



This is the first time that I drove Tucker 1044 since the restoration. Wonderful!

Your sense of sharing and engagement truly makes THIS car and all of your collection the pride of Long Island. We cannot thank you enough!

Such a great feeling to have your Tucker back home all restored, and looking as if it just rolled of the assembly line. Thank you for bringing back the past in all its glory.

Looks awesome Howard. All the lines meet beautifully, like it just rolled off the sales floor. It’s 1948 all over again!

Congratulations. There’s No place like Home. I can’t wait to see it in person.

Thanks for going with the original color.  I am not a fan of repainting in a different color than original.  Enjoy it Howard!  Mitch

Manage to fit all your collectables with room to spare for the old Ford tanker truck, well planned for a snug fit. The retrofit trailer adaptable for your all cars? Mark

Howard asked me a while back what color should he re-paint the Tucker 48?  I informed him, the original color.  I believe many antique car owners, like myself agree with me.  Enjoy your newly repainted Tucker 48, Howard.

Looks beautiful Howard! Looking forward to seeing it in person. That trailer sure makes it easy to load. I don’t think Wayne Carini has one since they have his cars driven onto the trailer on Chasing Classic Cars.
