Well, things haven't improved in 80 years!

 

Could that be Roy Orbison ?

 

Maybe someone can identify the place where this photo of a Tucker was taken in the summer of 1953. It is in Southern California, most likely somewhere in or near the Los Angeles area. The word "concourse" is on the building behind the car and the word "custom" is on the sign behind the building at the upper left.

The car was supposedly traded in on a new sports car at a foreign car dealership. Does anyone recognize the dealership or location of the photo?

Could this have been at one of International Motors lots in Hollywood?

 

That is John Fitch with the car he designed and still drives over to the Lime Rock, Ct. track. Still going strong in his 90's now. Bob http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Fitch_(racing_driver)

 

Seen the car before at a Corvair convention. It is supposed to be at the convention this July in Sturbridge Mass.

I have just fallen in love, this has got to be the one and only 20's cars I would ever restore to stock! Everything else I would either HotRod or wouldn't bother with, I want it!!
I want it so bad and couldn't tell you why, I can point out more on this car that I don't like but all together it makes up perfection!

Doc.

EDIT:
I missed the most important thing about this too, Swi please don't stop! You are more appreciated than you realise with all the work you are putting in here. Thank you!
