Forgot to say" also 1977 buick skylark "

Growing up, I lived near the general manager of a Chrysler assembly plant. He had 2 identical 1965 Imperials in his garage. He drove the one, his wife drove the other.

The first pair of control arms on the Tin Goose were machined from aluminum. They failed. The second set was machined from steel, and STILL had to be propped up on both sides by a 4x4 block of wood as the Torsilastic suspension rubber had also failed. Interesting note about the 589, they had actually conceived a 2-speed planetary with reverse compact torque converter with integral transmission and blueprints of this device exist; however they had moved on and most agree the device never even started to be built. It exists only as a blueprint.

I think, in retrospect, that #1027, and even 1018, could have been "resurrected"or "recreated" with the remains of the cars, along with leftover factory and NOS parts...I personally wish this had happened rather than using their parts in "continuation cars"...there would have been enough original parts in them, I think, to regard them as legitimately "1027" or "1018"...1968-70 Dodge Chargers, Ford Shelby Mustangs, etc. are rebuilt or re-created and considered legitimate with fewer original parts than exist for 1027 or even 1018..and they would be real factory cars in the sequence. As a side note, I wish the Tucker in Brazil, 1035 I believe, could be retrieved and returned to the U.S. and properly restored.....

I would've thought this car was fully restored. Very nice! My father had a '52 Buick Super 2-door hardtop. It had the same grille as the '51 Roadmaster in this video. Love early 50s Buicks.

Given the rarity, significance, and monetary values of these cars, I can't understand why any owner of a Tucker would want it painted anything other than the correct original color.....

The 1955 was the epitome of elegance!!

Imperial leather was even better than "Fine Corinthian Leather" .

out of 3508

my cosworth is # 3129

Music sucks...... should be Alexanders ragtime band from 1910

Got it topped out I see

Why does he keep looking to his left? Is there something wrong? Is he reading cue cards?

I binge watch the golden girls all the time on Hulu and always laugh at the same jokes💯 her caddy is clean 💚💚💚 RIP Queen 💛💛💛

Yup, sounds like an aircraft engine

That is absolutely beautiful! Thanks for sharing.

WHAT NUMBER IS SHE ??

Love the storied Tucker saga! Really love the looks of the Tucker convertible! What a beauty!

I truly enjoyed my 1966 Crown Imperial. Triple gold and steel, leather or wood on every surface one might see.

How do you not realise that nobody is interested in looking at you - you need to show more of the car itself - all the time, your voice in the frame would be enough.

Cool stuff... Love these car's. Saw one in Vegas 94' at the Imperial palace , I think it was car 1038.👍

What are the specs on this car, such as the engine and transmission?

Such a shame that we allowed our government and the Japanese to destroy our auto industry.

Mopar!!!

Great History, Great Engineering & Design.😊 ❤

They were awesome cars ! Especially the Hurst shifters with the 429 motor !

This is a boring video, more should be showing the car.

A local guy sold a radio from a tucker 48 for 600$ turns out they made more radios then cars

A beautiful and timeless design that never seems to age, or go out of style. If anyone doubts this, just place this incredible design up against it's competition, the 63 Buick Riviera, or Ford Thunderbird. Those chrome laden boxes look like last week's bagels in comparison. Which is no comparison.

David Buick lost control of the company in 1904, not sure how important his white bathtubs were in the color of 1910 Buicks

A former co-worker worked at a car wash in the 60s and a 64-65 Imperial pinned him up against a wall. He said an "Old Drunk" came in thought he was hitting the brake and tapped the accelerator pinning the guy against the wall. He got a six or seven thousand dollar settlement in 1967. He said he remembered the big eagle hood ornament.

I liked them 1973 and prior. The 60s era Coupe was beautiful as a convertible. Sales started slumping when it shared its body with the New Yorker in 1969. Buyers who could afford one would take a New Yorker instead because it cost less and it was still the same quality, just the trim was different.

While this version of the Seville was a nice looking car, it does share its overall lines with the new '77 Caprice Classic, which I have always liked.

I have never been a fan of this car. I think they should have put a small, simple, carbureted, 2 valve pushrod V8 in it instead. It is an American car, it should have an American engine, and what is more American than a pushrod V8?

Own one , purchased from Orig. Owner 63 K Miles !

A Spyder drove up beside her and took Ms Muffet's breath away kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWLPeaKEfJeGfsksi=P-3kDlV2murnOYhy

I loved my 71 Vega until the fenders developed rust holes at 24,000 miles. Rust around the windshield was also a problem. The engine blew the head gasket at about 50,000 miles. Why did GM do this to the public?

Drove Silver Eagles for Trailways from 1976 to 1981. Driving on the PA Turnpike from Harrisburg PA to Pittsburgh PA was fun going thru the curves especially at night when there was no traffic and hammer down. Experienced drivers could change lanes without passengers knowing it. Blowing past the trucks pulling mountains at 50 mph while trucks were doing 30mph made passengers think you were actually doing 80 mph. Was a great experience.

It had a bed in baggage hostess could get to when Bus was Moveing.model10 Rare Bird.wish I had it Parkes at boat slip on road new river in ft Lauderdale. Plugged her in ...

Injoyed watching DID U remember 1983 Gold eagle coach built for Redadare.purchesed at show at notriadme in 86 With 13,000 miles on it .we put final touches on it 4 COLORpaint Bose sound system 2 Sony screens. $A GOOD BUY $200 K A RARE Bird 671 300 hp .10 mpg.😂

They sure built Ugly Cars in the 50s and early 60s

This is EPIC ! To sse this many Tuckers, running and driving together is beyond the minds eye. Thank You so much for posting this, a real treat!

I’ve got a 55 2-door Imperial Newport that will be going up for grabs in the near future. Only 27,000 miles on the clock. These cars are absolutely gorgeous, but I’m about to have my first child so she’s gotta go!

Thanks for sharing all this. I knew Lance, and never knew he had owned that engine.

Does anyone know which Tucker was on display at the Hartford Auto Museum, in Hartford Wisconsin about (guessing, time flies) 10 years ago? It was dark green. I missed seeing it at the museum because I didn't know it was there, but I was lucky enough to pass it on Highway K as it headed south out of Hartford, presumably going back to it's home. The color on that car was spectacular.

I put a 350 in mine it was fast.

Would rather hear the car than music. Smh.

I love cars, but to much talking. Show each car explain, each year and then at the end tell your story, give viewers the option

It is actually a Rolls Royce Wraith. The Silver Wraith came later.

Thank you, hard to recreate the PANACHE of this STUDEBAKER, when we seen & heard about ( esp. BONNEVILLE speed, stuff, &/Andy GRANITELLI) : just got my LEARNER’s Driver License , & a Car Nut since 1960 at least…Noble County INDIANA,ETC……(* not to mention the SUPER LARKS, HAWK GTS,etc).. Anyways, never got the SITUATION, timing, or monies for a STUDEBAKER AVANTI, OR the later Avanti’s TWO, ETC..
