I had those shared with me by Tom Merola, son of Joe Merola, who owned and drove the NASCAR Tucker. They are, in a word, awesome!!!!!

This is in Greg Fielden Book <Forty Years of Stock Car Racing--1949-1958 Story on page 26. The 1948 Tucker Torpedo

Never made a lap. Greg said it conked out and never made a lap. I understand it broke a left axle.

Race was May 30,1950 at Canfield Moter Speedway in Canfield OH.

You folks are lucky to know the people you do! One of my friends from one of my model club's father worked on the Tucker, and a different friend's father ordered one, but the company was forced out of buisness before it was built.

I feel lucky that I was able to see Tucker #002 at the Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg Musuem back in 2003, the only time I've seen a Tucker in person.

I'm not sure why the link doesn't work right in my original post, if you highlight NASCAR Tucker it should take you there, this system is still a little confusing to me, I'll figure it out eventually, I'm sure!
