  7. I've known Bob and Rob for over 20 years, and if anyone can pull this project off, it's the Ida's.

    Thanks for the Video.

    I saw a Tucker in the early 50's (as a little kid) and never forgot it.

    My son and I saw this bad boy in June at the NSRA East in York PA. I have also see some Tuckers in a couple musems and the IDA car is spot on and a modern version too boot. Real nice execution on the Tucker and their 48 Caddy too. Wish I had the money. :D

    The Ida's are good people and very skilled craftsmen.

    A little O/T for the post, but I believe the AACA Museum in Hershey, PA has an original Tucker if anybody has the burning need to check out a real one.
