KOOK OF THE DAY!!!

On this day, March 3, in 1949
Tucker Company fails

The postwar car market was so strong in the United States that a number of bold entrepreneurs formed independent car companies to challenge the established Big Three. Arguably the most remarkable such independent was the Tucker Corporation, founded by Preston "P.T." Tucker. Tucker, a gifted marketeer and innovator, created a phenomenon felt through the automotive industry when he released his car, the Tucker. Along with the cars, Preston Tucker sent a magazine called "Tucker Topics" along to dealers, hoping to increase the salesmen's enthusiasm for his automobile. The Tucker was equipped with a number of novel features. It had six exhaust pipes, a third headlight that rotated with the axle, and a "bomb shelter" in the backseat. Beyond the frills though, the Tucker packed a powerful punch, making zero to 60 in 10 seconds and reaching a top speed of 120mph. Great anticipation surrounded the awaited release of the Tucker, but in 1949, before his cars could reach their market, the Securities and Exchange Commission indicted Preston Tucker on 31 counts of investment fraud. Tucker had only produced 51 cars. On this day in 1949, the Tucker Corporation went into receivership, and the Tucker automobile became merely a historical footnote

 

Cool one Dallas. Where is Rob, anyway?? Jeez, gets a new truck then never comes around......Pat's not about to mention his one post he did yesterday....

 

lolol, we sent Rob some info on his new truck so maybe he is still reading the owners manual that came with it!!!!lololol You guys would not believe how lucky Rob is to own a VERY low production # for the 2008 model!!!! Sooooo low, infact, that his VIN did NOT appear on a VERY long list (49 pages with atleast 100 VINs on each) of trucks that are on a possible injector recall!!!

 

I tell you what, last fall he didn't have ANY trucks, and in less than four months, has a nicely restored 79, and an 08 SD! Guess all that harassing we did paid off!!LOL!

Sounds like he came out good with that truck.

 

He talked to Joe for about 10-15 minutes last week and got all the info he needed to know about.

 

Yeah, that's what Joe said. I'm sure Rob really appreciated the info! Looking forward to seeing his 08 in a few weeks at the G2g!

 

Well, boys and girls, I'm going to put an end to this completely un-productive day, get my daughter from preschool, and head for the house. Everyone have a nice evening, I'll catch up with you in the morning!!

 

I am pretty certain we will be there at the g2g cuz Joe is gonna ask to bring one of the shops IDS computers to show what everyones trucks are doing and to answer any questions that anyone may have!!
