Update: Highlights From the Tucker 75th Anniversary Celebration at the Antique Automobile Club of America (AACA) Museum


Outside of the making of the film 'Tucker the Man and His Dream' in 1988, and 30 years later at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance in 2018, this many '48 Tuckers have not been together since they left the factory.

Here are some of the quick photo highlights from the 75th Anniversary celebration at the AACA Museum in Hershey, Pennsylvania, June 16th-18th, 2023. Unfortunately, Howard arrived home with COVID-19. He has been sleeping for the past two days with mild symptoms.

I’ve been a Tucker fan since I was 14 years old, and that was a long time ago.  Seeing one Tucker, usually in a museum, is a thrill.  Seeing FOUR Tuckers moving under their own power is a once in a lifetime experience.  The distinctive sound they make will rattle around in my head forever.  Thank you and all the owners of these incredible cars for sharing them with us.  Tuckerfest was an unforgettable weekend.  Best Wishes, Pete
