'64 Parisienne CS "barn find" - last on the road in '86 ... Owner Protection Plan booklet, original paint, original near-mint aqua interior, original aqua GM floor mats, original 283, factory posi, and original rust.
I was always facsinated with these cars, even as a young boy my father would tell me about them so their mythical status was cast long ago and appropriately the marketing of the time must have made the desired impression on the intended market. Maybe the big three got together to ruin Tucker, I believe that theory has had wide circulation.
In any event that is a lot of money for a car that was never really offered to the public from a failed company. I see a lot of parallels in our Avro Arrow story. Too innovative for the time and too much of a threat on the status quo.
