Having attended the Barrett-Jackson Auction in Scottsdale, Az. and blogging about it, thought I’d make a few entries as a follow-up.
I written about previous times I’ve attended (actually it is a family and friend affair – last year went with friends and the previous and this year our son was able make room in his schedule to go) and how much fun it is and all of the events.
An additional thrill is being there in person and seeing some of the rarest cars on the planet.
Case in point is this Tucker. That eventually sold for $ 2.9 million!!! This picture is from Hemmings:
Beautiful car...but...
…Under the lights and in person….
1948 Tucker A beauiful Car!!!
Truly a great piece of history.
More coming…like…..wonder where some of those Win Both Vettes or Mustangs end up? You’ll see.
Thanks for reading.

I still wonder from time to time what kind of cars we would have today if Preston Tucker had succeeded in the car business.
I know that Preston Tucker predicted that ‘our former enemies will eventually concur the car business’. In other words, he knew that the Japanese would take over the Americans as leaders in the car business.
I’d love the oppurtunity to drive a Tucker.
