My paternal grandfather really liked that design and planned to buy one...he even kept some promotional material on the car, which unfortunately isn't worth a lot today. He later became a big fan of Corvairs...not a surprise I guess.

No real brochures, nothing in color - just some flyers and price lists. I should try to locate them and scan them in. I am pretty sure my dad had them last. My grandfather was kind of a technology nut - they were early adopters of television, and in 1940 he bought a private plane, and had one for many years. I know my dad has a pile of period aeronautic material. He wasn't unusually well to do either, he just liked machines.

I'd be surprised if the lightly-capitalized Tucker had much in the way of brochures and sales material. As for color, well my 1962 AC/ Shelby (260) flier hasn't got a lick of color, it's all b&w and that's from almost fifteen years later and Shelby is believed to have had financial backing from FoMoCo..

I assume your "roof unit" is one of those removable hard tops or truck-body caps.. Most of those are designed to be installed or removed by a couple of able-bodied males. If you wanted to do it yourself you could rent one of those hoists they use to lift engine blocks.>
You should have no trouble finding one in Lost Angels, just ask for an Engine Hoist.

Maybe he was talking about an A/C unit for his motorhome, (or apartment complex.)

I think if I creaked open some old duffer's garage door and saw that car I'd faint on the spot!
