Following on from the original cars in the David Cammack Collection, this limited edition has been finished in Black. Named after the year in which it was introduced, the Tucker caused both sensation and controversy, being wondered at by the public and causing much consternation among the established manufacturers whose products looked obsolete overnight. Commonly termed the Torpedo, most of the cars produced during the company’s turbulent life still survive and are much prized by collectors.
Available only in the previously-styled cardboard box
