Wishing for a Tucker 48.
Posted by CBHusky on Monday, November 21, 2016 7:17 PM

Has there ever been, or will there ever be, a plastic model kit of the legendary Tucker 48 automobile?

Normally, I'm not a model car builder. But this is one unique subject that I wouldn't mind having. ;) And if no model kit is ever made of this unique automobile, then I guess the next question would be: Why?

Battleship modelers build with BIGGER guns!

Hi ;

      Well , first off the poor thing never made it to production ! Second there's never been that much demand for it as a 1/24 or 1/25 model . True , it is a very pertinant part of Automobile History .

    Think on this . There have been many that met the criteria but the model industry MUST rely on market interest . A 36 Ford is more popular , unit sales wise , than the Tucker ever would be .

 I feel as you do so I went and bought Franklin Mint's version .  T.B.
