This is Tucker number 23 that was destroyed in a fire in the late 70s while it was in storage at a mattress factory that burned to the ground. Remains of car after fire were buried under the garage of a TACA founder.
It is also believed that Tucker 1023 was the Tucker that raced at Canfield Speedway at the 1951 Memorial Day race. The car was driven by Joe Merola, and finished last with no laps completed. The reason Merola’s car didn’t finish a lap was because the car broke a right rear axel.
