This car was entered in the Memorial Day 1950 Nascar Grand National Race at Canfield Speedway near Youngstown, Ohio>  In those days the SC in NASCAR stood for Stock Car and that car is so "Stock" it has whitewall tires!

Replying to: andys120 (Dec 24, 2008 10:21 am) Some sources say the car does not survive, burned up in a warehouse fire, which makes it one of the very few Tuckers that didn't survive, unfortunately for NASCAR history. |

Replying to: boomchek (Dec 24, 2008 11:47 am) That seems highly unlikely, given the idiosyncratic layout of the Tucker, they'd cost a gazillion each to replicate. Are you thinking of the several Cord or Duesenberg Replicas that have come and gone?

Replying to: andys120 (Dec 24, 2008 12:29 pm) I found this on Wiki: In 1997, Rob Ida Automotive started work on a replica of the Tucker '48 Sedan, which culminated in the release and marketing of the 2001 Ida Automotive New Tucker '48. This replica faithfully recreates the Tucker's external bodywork, but is built on a hotrod chassis with plastic body panels. The paint and wheels reflect modern hotrod styling, and the interior is fully modern. It is powered by a rear-mounted Cadillac Northstar V8. Claimed performance is 0–60 in 7 seconds, with a top speed in excess of 120 mph. Ida has built three cars
