*1948 Tucker Torpedo*

[Zippi]

I've seen the die cast models of the 1948 Tucker Torpedo created by Preston Tucker but was there ever a plastic model produced?  I just thought it was a car ahead of it's time like the Studebaker Avanti was.

Modelhaus resin kit is as close as you can get to a 'plastic kit'.  Danberry Mint made a 1/24 die cast that is very nice too. I have both and really like the Modelhaus version........the die cast is a little more detailed but like a kit.

Thanks for the info Dave.

It would be nice to see a tucker kit but its probably highly unlikely. Would have to be a one off kit. No options for drag race or nascar tie ins. If round 2 does they could maybe do a run of coke cola themed.

A Tucker did run 2 NASCAR races. A stock, race and custom COULD work IMHO ONLY!

Nah, that license ran out.

But they do have a Hot Wheels license..... ?

Hey a hot wheels license would work.

Tuckers are good/cool and all that but my cry is for Buicks 1932 or 34 -1957 ! Moebius does Hudsons and Chryslers, this resin company Tucker but you never hear about Buicks. I once emailed about 3 years ago asked Moebius if they ever intended to do a 1956 Buick or any Buick for that matter. No reply. So guess not.
