Replying to: boomchek (Dec 24, 2008 1:41 pm) 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. Replies to this message: andys120 (Dec 24, 2008 4:15 pm)

Replying to: fintail (Dec 24, 2008 2:01 pm) 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 m living in Los Angeles. I have my roof unit sitting in the driveway and I need to swap the units. I need a crane service or can I rent something? I need someone else, what am I looking for? so tell me if you know the best crane service providers.

Replying to: sual (Dec 25, 2008 5:55 am) 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.

Replying to: andys120 (Dec 25, 2008 11:34 am) Maybe he was talking about an A/C unit for his motorhome, (or apartment complex.)

Replying to: lemko (Jan 02, 2009 12:32 pm) I think if I creaked open some old duffer's garage door and saw that car I'd faint on the spot!

Replying to: lemko (Jan 02, 2009 12:32 pm) I can't even imagine stumbling into something like that. If I knew someone who's grandpa had an old car in the garage, and they wanted me to take a look at it, it'd end up being a Chevy Celebrity or something.

Replying to: lemko (Jan 02, 2009 12:32 pm) i just read the same story from a different source. it's kind of funny to me to think it was only 23 years old, when last driven, and has been sitting around for over twice that long, since then.   i did see a late 70's green tbird today. not quite the same thing.
