Wow.....

I think the seller would have had better luck contacting the Tucker Automobile Club. After all, you have 48 potential buyers - well Francis Copolla owns two...

Anyhow, Tucker sold accessories for the not-yet-released cars, including radios. So there may have been a thousand Tucker radios sold and 50 or so cars produced.

Of course, the owners of those million dollar cars may have laughed at the seller's asking price.

AUdubon5425 speaks the truth. Thousands more Tucker radios out there than Tuckers. Those sets show up on eBay all the time, and are always NOS.

Yep, now that I think about it, I remember this...Tucker sold radios & other trinkets to keep interest in the cars "Ginned up", show the investors & customers-"See ? See? We're workin' on it-Why, we've got the radios made already..." & hopefully stave off the Feds, who were Smelling a Mouse about the whole business.

For that money I would expect it to have been recapped and restored to factory working condition, and even then it's pricey... :thumbsdn:
