Up for auction is a 1948 Tucker, No. 1010 - Believed to have disappeared many years ago, Tucker Serial No.1010 re-emerged after more than 50 years spent tucked away in a private barn. Originally delivered to its first owner in Waltz Blue, this 1948 Tucker is spectacular in its near-original, unrestored condition, having traveled only 10,000 miles since new. It is believed that this car raced at Bonneville in the early 1950s, achieving an impressive top speed of 134 mph while defying the harsh elements of the Salt Flats. An exciting discovery for collectors around the world, this car is expected to bring in excess of $1 Million at the auction.
