A couple Buicks parked in a shed with less than 1500 miles combined.

I really can't think of these as classic cars. 1950s, 60s, and
maybe early 70s, These are just too new. I'd probably like
to have a Tucker if I was into collecting cars. Its weird factor is
pretty high. The car had a third headlight that would turn with
the front wheels.

Still 47 Tuckers around if you have about $3million you can get one.

The Grand Nationals will be worth quite a bit and gain in value,
especially if kept together. Not often you find twins. But I agree, not
classics yet.

I remember meeting a Tucker owner --with his car-- at a car festival
at Half Moon Bay, CA. He had personally driven it down from Oregon
jes to be at this particular festival. The car was fully functional.

Although I never drove one, I recall them being the terror of the
tarmac. They ruled the drag strip .....and with a turbocharged V6, no
less. I'd say they were considered "classics" in their own day.
