I have some of the Indians used on the Royal American Shows Wall of Death

 

I might be wrong,---But I think these pix were taken at the time Tucker was fighting the BIG 3 auto makers
That claimed Tucker was a fraud & assembying his cars out of used auto parts. So Tucker had a bunch of his cars parked out front of the courthouse for the public to observe---Including the jury!
But alas, the big 3 won out & Tucker faded into the "Sunset".
The one & only Tucker I saw was on display in Long Beach,Ca. in 1948.---------Don

 

Remember 'ol one armed ALLEN HEATH????---I used to watch him at CARRELL with his hooked hand in the steering wheel work his way up thru the pack to win!!

 

"Hell NO,---We are NOT going to the station!!!----This is OUR street, & we can work it anytime".

 

A little history as I grew up at that place. That is the old Fairgrounds Speedway in Birmingham, Alabama. There were times when cars would end up in that Hog Barn.

 

Well attended auction in Oklahoma.
