Dan Cicoria of the Chicora Region Antique Car club drives "Marilyn Monroe" around town recently. What a great looking lady and a great looking Classic 64 1/2 Mustang Convertible.  Yes, Dan, you too!

This may be the last Tucker automobile ever completed. Chassis #57 was acquired in early 2009 by Benchmark Classics.  Some sixty years after the Tucker factory in Chicago was shut down, the car was completed in the fall of this year. It is claimed that the car was from the "experimental" section of the Tucker plant and that it was destined to be a convertible. Arguments in favor of the convertible include the fact that the car, which began as a sedan, had a very heavily reinforced frame. It had also been mentioned in the book called the "Indominitable Tin Goose" by Charles T. Pearson around 1961. Some others, primarily in the Tucker Club of America, claim the convertible never existed and that chassis 57 was to have been a sedan. In any event, Benchmark did a fantastic job completing the car as a convertible and it is being sold as such. It has its own website at http://www.tuckerconvertible.com  The Tucker convertible was on display at this years Antique Auto Fall meet at Hershey, Pa.
