The last Tucker engine is fired-up for the first time in over 70 years.

A couple years ago I was in Syracuse visiting family. And my niece’s new husband’s grandfather use to work at Franklin motors and then later Air-Cooled motors.

Air Cooled motors owned Tucker 1007 which is now owned by the Lemay Foundation in Tacoma and currently on display at the Lemay Museum for a period of time. A Beautiful car that was displayed in front of the wall of glass overlooking the water when I saw it in person about a decade ago.
